RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

    qemu: fix default spice password setting
    
    Set spice password even if default VNC password hasn't been set.
Comment 4 Jiri Denemark 2013-06-11 10:07:02 UTC 
We decided not to rebase libvirt in RHEL 6.5 to avoid stability issues
we faced in 6.4. This bug has already been trivially fixed upstream but
it is not considered important enough to be backported to RHEL 6.5.

Thus I'm pushing this bug to RHEL 6.6 (and setting Upstream keyword to
indicate we have patches upstream) for now. If you don't agree with
this resolution, please, give us reasons which you think are strong
enough for us to reevaluate the decision not to backport patches for
this bug.

can reproduce with libvirt-0.10.2-29.el6_5.7.x86_64
verified with libvirt-0.10.2-31.el6.x86_64.

step:

 for spice:
1.enable the spice password in qemu.conf file
spice_password = "XYZ12345"

2.restart libvirtd service
# service libvirtd restart 
Stopping libvirtd daemon:                                  [  OK  ]
Starting libvirtd daemon:                                  [  OK  ]

3.prepare one health guest with spice type graphics, start it in the virt-manager

4.use virt-manager and virt-viewer all need input password.
  input correct pwd, can log in guest.

  for vnc:
1.enable the vnc password in qemu.conf file
vnc_password = "XYZ12345"

2.restart libvirtd service
# service libvirtd restart 
Stopping libvirtd daemon:                                  [  OK  ]
Starting libvirtd daemon:                                  [  OK  ]
