After Referencing:

and looking at some of the related engine code.

I am still attempting to get the spice/novnc browser based consoles to work.

I am working from a build from master yesterday I used to upgrade over a previous 3.3 master build from about a month back.

VDSM version on host is 4.12.0 built minutes ago.

I have installed and configured the websocket proxy like so:

Set WebSocketProxy to engine ENGINEIP port 6100
engine-config -s WebSocketProxy=ENGINEIP:6100

/usr/share/ovirt-engine/bin/pki-enroll-pkcs12.sh --name=websocket-proxy --password=install --subject="/C=US/O=DHC/CN=ENGINEFQDN"

This generates:
/etc/pki/ovirt-engine/keys/websocket-proxy.p12
/etc/pki/ovirt-engine/certs/websocket-proxy.cer
/etc/pki/ovirt-engine/requests/websocket-proxy.req

However it does not generate the key that websockify wants so we do:
openssl pkcs12 -in websocket-proxy.p12 -nocerts -nodes -out /etc/pki/ovirt-engine/keys/websocket-proxy.key

The configuration of ovirt-websocket-proxy:
PROXY_HOST=*
PROXY_PORT=6100
SOURCE_IS_IPV6=False
SSL_CERTIFICATE=/etc/pki/ovirt-engine/certs/websocket-proxy.cer
SSL_KEY=/etc/pki/ovirt-engine/keys/websocket-proxy.key
FORCE_DATA_VERIFICATION=False
CERT_FOR_DATA_VERIFICATION=/etc/pki/ovirt-engine/certs/engine.cer
SSL_ONLY=True
TRACE_ENABLE=False
TRACE_FILE=
ENGINE_USR="/usr/share/ovirt-engine"

Install spice-html5
git clone http://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/spice/spice-html5.git
mv spice-html5 /usr/share

Test spice:
In Webadmin UI we set create a VM, set display as spice, start it and set it's console to spice-html5.
Result spice-html client opens in a new tab but does not connect.

Test novnc:

Result novnc client opens in a new tab but does not connect, but does display error: "Server disconnected (code: 1006)

I verified connection of both the spice/vnc console directly at the host level with a quick connect via virt-viewer.

A quick scan with nmap of engine and host to verify sockets are open:

Nmap scan report for engine
Host is up (0.0042s latency).
Not shown: 995 closed ports
PORT     STATE SERVICE
22/tcp   open  ssh
80/tcp   open  http
111/tcp  open  rpcbind
443/tcp  open  https
6100/tcp open  synchronet-db

Nmap scan report for host
Host is up (0.0045s latency).
Not shown: 997 closed ports
PORT     STATE SERVICE
22/tcp   open  ssh
111/tcp  open  rpcbind
5900/tcp open  vnc

For grins I stopped the websocket proxy and manually started a websockify like so:
websockify 3.57.111.11:6100 3.57.111.12:5900 --cert=/etc/pki/ovirt-engine/certs/websocket-proxy.cer --key=/etc/pki/ovirt-engine/keys/websocket-proxy.key

WARNING: no 'numpy' module, HyBi protocol is slower or disabled
WebSocket server settings:
  - Listen on ENGINEIP:6100
  - Flash security policy server
  - SSL/TLS support
  - proxying from ENGINEIP:6100 to HOSTIP:5900

Attempting another connection via https://ENGINEFQDN//ovirt-engine-novnc-main.html?host=ENGINEIP&port=6100 results in:

  1: handler exception: [Errno 1] _ssl.c:1359: error:14094418:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:tlsv1 alert unknown ca


I should also note in case it matters that the SSLEnabled=false, and EnableSpiceRootCertificateValidation are both set as false are set in my engine options.

Am I doing something wrong here, I don't see any reason this should not work?
