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?
