Hi Michal,
Should I use SPICE as console protocol in order to use web proxy?
It's for both noVNC and SPICE-HTML5 client Not for virt-viewer or custom native vnc clients "Spice proxy" would be for similar network layout but native spice client (remote-viewer or firefox/IE plugin) I may have missed that info earlier, are you trying to use browser clients? Those need the websocket translation. Or regular/stable way via standalone client(that's still the predefined default)
I don't really mind as long as the solution is feasible in the case where the browser doesn't have direct connection to the host (cpu) machine.
On my engine, I have:
WebSocketProxy: Engine:6100 version: general WebSocketProxyTicketValiditySeconds: 120 version: general
So is Webproxy using port 6100?
Yes

Hi Michal,
Itamar asked me to write to you about how to use WebProxy to access
console.
I have a set up like this on three different physical servers:
Browser (RHEL6, firefox 24.2.0) --------------- ovirt-engine
----------------------- host (CPU)
However the browser machine doesn't have direct connection to
<dron@redhat.com>; "users@ovirt.org List" <users@ovirt.org> the VM the host.
It can only go through ovirt-engine machine to access the host. It might be for this reason that I have failed in using SPICE and VNC to see the VM console. Is websocket proxy the viable solution in this case? What are the steps to set up such a connection? Any pointers?
Yes, that's fine, this is the default deployment/installation. You sure you opened firewall for websocket proxy? Is is running? Engine-config's
WebsocketProxy(or similar) parameter points to the right thing?
Thanks, michal
Thanks
David

I have restarted the host and now started to install the Vm from scratch. Following Itamar's suggestion this time, I chose VNC as console
How can I use vnc viewer to attach to the VM?
I don't remember if virt-viewer detects the vnc in the .vv file. but you should have the vnc password and connection details in
file to manually connect for sake of testing.
you should also be able to use ovirt cli utility to connect to a vm which will launch vnc as well (iirc, via virt-viewer, not vnc viewer)
