The problem I´m having is with Win7/IE. It does however work to get spice console in the admin portal, strangely enough, but we won´t allow our customers using the admin portal just to get access to their consoles. I would like to have it work with Windows/IE in Userportal as well. > the commit is "user portal: ...", so i'm kind of surprised. are you sure its not another issue?
