I have an issue where I have developers that need their Windows 7 VM to not lock when the spice console is closed. The installation of Windows must have a password, so removing the password isn’t an option. I’ve narrowed it down to the RHEV agent that causes this to occur. When the RHEV agent is disabled, you can close and reopen the console freely and it doesn’t lock the Windows 7 VM, however when you re-enable the RHEV agent service it instantly locks Windows and requires you to put the password in. Is there a way to configure the RHEV agent to disable this feature?
This behavior is by design. When the user close the SPICE client a "lock" command is send to the agent. You should probably check with the back-end if one can disable this behavior. It doesn't make sense to me to add an option for the agent to ignore a command. It is better not to ask for it at all. Gal.
