[ovirt-users] Re: Console - VNC password is 12 characters long, only 8 permitted

The default VNC password. Only 8 bytes are significant for # VNC passwords. This parameter is only used if the per-domain # XML config does not already provide a password.

Everything works fine for every other host that I have (more than 200), the console works either via oVirt engine and via browser) but just for a single host (CentOS Stream release 8, oVirt 4.4.9) the console works only via engine but when I try the connection via browser I get the following error (vdsm log of the host): > > ERROR FINISH updateDevice error=unsupported configuration: VNC password is 12 characters long, only 8 permitted > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/common/api.py", line 124, in method > ret = func(*args, **kwargs) > File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/API.py", line 372, in updateDevice > return self.vm.updateDevice(params) > File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/virt/vm.py", line 3389, in updateDevice > return self._updateGraphicsDevice(params) > File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/virt/vm.py", line 3365, in _updateGraphicsDevice > params['params'] > File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/virt/vm.py", line 5169, in _setTicketForGraphicDev > self._dom.updateDeviceFlags(xmlutils.tostring(graphics), 0) > File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/virt/virdomain.py", line 101, in f > ret = attr(*args, **kwargs) > File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/common/libvirtconnection.py", line 131, in wrapper > ret = f(*args, **kwargs) > File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/common/function.py", line 94, in wrapper > return func(inst, *args, **kwargs) > File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 3244, in updateDeviceFlags > raise libvirtError('virDomainUpdateDeviceFlags() failed') > libvirt.libvirtError: unsupported configuration: VNC password is 12 characters long, only 8 permitted > > > The error is pretty much self explanatory but, I can't manage to > figure out why only on this server Hi, this happens with libvirt 8.0. > and I wonder if I can set the length of the generated vnc password > somewhere. I don't think so, it must be fixed in Engine. See https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine/commit/a1e7e39348550b575f1f01b70110... for more details.
