There does not seem to be a way for users to configure "Console options" when
using the VM Portal. In older versions of oVirt, users had the ability to fully control
how they configured their VM's. With the new VM Portal and the streamlined approach,
they are not able to customize this. This forces them to use whatever console option is
setup by default, which is usually a native client. If users are unable to configure
their own console settings, then I would like to set the default console to use NoVNC so
that it opens the console in a browser window instead of a native client. This will allow
users without a native VNC client (Such as MacOS) to be able to connect to their VM
consoles.
I think have half the solution figured out, but it only affects the Administration Portal
and not the VM Portal.
engine-config –s ClientModeVncDefault=NoVnc
It also does not affect the default "Video Type" or "Graphics
Protocol". Is this something that is configurable? I have not found any related
settings using the following command:
engine-config -l
There is also a file for configuring OS defaults, but no documentation of any additional
values it could support:
/etc/ovirt-engine/osinfo.conf.d/00-defaults.properties
Ideally, I would like to be able to configure a few more default settings, such as
"Optimized for" and "Disable Single Sign-on", so I think solving the
console options problem will ultimately lead to a solution for these as well. Any
suggestions?
