Hi Iordan, RDP is implemented in slightly different way in oVirt engine and I don't know if moVirt pulls all data needed for RDP from the engine. I'll take a look right after I deal with SPICE in moVirt. Thanks!

Hi iordan, we are just starting the activity letting the user to pick the proper client. If there is none which would handle it, we show a toast showing that please install aSPICE or bVNC (depending if the user connects to SPICE or VNC). Also in project page (http://wiki.ovirt.org/Project_moVirt) we list bVNC as dependency - aSPICE not yet since the integration is just a proof of concept and not merged yet. Once finished, we will list it.

Hi Iordan, We tried this today and it works like a charm :) I'll try to integrate it to moVirt in near future. Thank you very much! Franta. ----- Original Message ----- From: "i iordanov" <iiordanov(a)gmail.com> To: "Frantisek Kobzik" <fkobzik(a)redhat.com> Cc: "Sphoorti Joglekar" <sphoorti.joglekar(a)gmail.com>, movirt(a)ovirt.org Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2015 7:13:04 AM Subject: Re: [moVirt] Integrating aSpice with moVirt Hi Franta, Sphoorti, I looked at the manifest and the code, and indeed, I had some issues. I've built you a test APK that you can try with an attempt at correcting these issues. The main thing that was fixed was that aSPICE now correctly registers that it supports spice:// URI scheme, not vnc:// URI scheme. In addition, the code now accepts and parses any of three schemes programmatically - vnc, spice, and rdp. It will accept specifying the user/pwd as SpiceUsername and SpicePassword respectively. Finally, IF you choose to set SecurityType in the URI, you'll have to make sure it is set to 1 if you would like to NOT set SpicePassword. Alternatively, you may choose to set SecurityType to 2 and specify an empty SpicePassword in the URI. Not specifying SecurityType saves you from these requirements.

Re: [moVirt] Integrating aSpice with moVirt
by Sphoorti Joglekar 10 Feb '15

Hi, Thank you for sharing the vnc specifications document. We were successful in calling bVnc from movirt. We now wish to extend this feature for aSpice. We have tried to connect to a VM using aSPICE filling the needed params (only IP and port) from inside aSPICE and it worked nice. When we tried to call it using an intent filling in the params using the same names as in case of bVNC it did not connect. The aSPICE client has started though - just refused to connect. Have you tested aSPICE to be called using an intent? Do we have to do something specific comparing to what is needed for bVNC?

Well, if both your phone and your monster machine is connected to the same router you are both on the same network. So if you can not see oVirt from mobile, there is some problem with firewall on the all-in-one. On https://github.com/matobet/moVirt is the project page. It contains the sources, an unsigned build you can install to play with, some documentation on how to setup movirt and also how to setup the devel env. Ping us all the time if you have any issues setting it up. But please make sure you are using exactly the versions of everything as stated on wiki - any change in gradle or android-studio can have fatal consequences :D Connecting to your environment - well, you need to have access to the engine's REST API from your phone. Than in the moVirt you just need to fill the API URL, name and password. Connecting securely using https is a bit tricky - you need to have the CA cert imported to your phone and connect to REST using the proper URL as stated in the cert. For devel env you can use the HTTPS and pick the "Disable HTTPS" - it will not check the cert and will work without proper url (e.g. with IP) and without cert imported. > > > > > > 2.

Currently Android and surprisingly it works nice as-is on blackberry :) Even the devel env with debugger etc(!!!) Martin (Polednik) was considering to port it to iOS, not sure - Martin? Also a friend of Sphoorti (the current OPW intern) is very insterested in porting it to iOS as a different OPW.
