Why not webadmin/portal just report VNC port and IP to connect, also have option to set VNC password. Many users not have Linux desktop with spice installed. I wish i can use Windows, Android, etc to connect console.
Either that, or a VNC XPI/CAB, or a novnc solution. The "get VNC connection details" would be the easiest one to implement if anyone is interested in pushing this. I'll just add some color on why it isn't there already: 1. the previous console was windows c# and had a bundled vnc exe with it. 2. the user portal was designed for VDI originally, so it only had spice (and rdp for windows clients) support.

I just finished setup oVirt on FC16 (same host run vdsmd)
I can start VM but cannot connect console using VNC. No information for connecting VNC available. Although I can figure out which port VNC running, I don't know password and it cannot be set or view from webadmin or userportal console.
VDSM has a SetVmTicket API that you can use to set a VNC
wrote: password. If
has the vdsClient program installed, try:
vdsClient 0.0.0.0 setVmTicket <vm UUID> abc123 60
This will set the password to 'abc123' for 60 seconds. That being said, I think the oVirt supported display mode is spice. You may have an easier time connecting via spice.
The user portal and webadmin don't support VNC currently. You can use the REST API of ovirt engine to set the ticket (vnc
your host password) and connect.
Btw, is there a reason you prefer vnc to spice?
vnc client already installed? I'm positive I've got a vnc client for my current distro and pretty sure I don't have a spice client installed.
