Do I understand correctly? This procedure allows the oVirt administrator to
install for the Manager HTTP UI a server certificate issued by an authority
other than the built-in certificate authority that is always created when
Manager is installed. It is not possible to also install for VDSM or the
console server a server certificate that is issued by such an external
certificate authority. Only certificates issued by the built-in authority
may be bound to the VDSM and console services, and so it is necessary to
import the signing certificate of that built-in authority into the admin's
browser trust store before connecting to the console server (e.g., novnc
websocket console).
If that is correct then I will propose that we make it more convenient to
obtain the signing cert in the browser and whether it might be possible to
at least install an externally issued server certificate for the console
service so that the explicit trust of Manager's built-in CA is unnecessary.

Thanks a lot for the report!
Perhaps you'd like to push a patch to github to update the following page?
