Hello,
As oVirt unfortuately now requires VNC for the VM consoles,
I've been attempting to get VNC mode working on my end user clients.
The noVNC browser client works just fine, but for some reason
the default download to remote-viewer fails on the same hosts.
All the end-user gets is a quick flash of the remote-viewer window on
their screen.
Running remote-viewer in debug mode I get this:

---log snip---
It seems to be failing a credential request, but I'm not sure why. The
engine logs only show the VM console ticket being created, but does not
show any connection attempts unless noVNC is used.

What else can I do to troubleshoot this?
