SPICE and VNC native

Hi, We are running ovirt 4.3. The engine is on a bare metal machine and the hosts are running on Centos 7. When installing the engine, I set it to be the webproxy. When I create a new vm, I select both SPICE+VNC. When clicking on the console I only have the option for SPICE native, not for the HTML option. For VNC I have both options and the HTML option can be selected and works. But, this is also the only option that works. VNC Native as well as SPICE Native do not work. I have tried using both remote viewer on Mac and a VNC client on a Windows machine and neither will actually open the VM. I would really also like the SPICE HTML option to exist, but it does not. The enable SPICE proxy in the Console selection is greyed out. When I open in remoteviewer (Mac) I get Unable to connect to the graphic server. Any suggestions? Kim

spice-html5 has been dropped in 4.2 because of bugs and the lack of activity in that project

that’s an alpha version not really functioning that well
and a VNC client on a Windows machine
if that’s a generic VNC client then you haev to adapt the parameters from console.vv file to actual arguments of that client. The only one which understands the format out of the box is remote-viewer
and neither will actually open the VM. I would really also like the SPICE HTML option to exist, but it does not. The enable SPICE proxy in the Console selection is greyed out.
When I open in remoteviewer (Mac) I get Unable to connect to the graphic server.
certificate issues perhaps? are the hosts (hostname/port in console.vv) reachable directly from the client? Thanks, michal
Any suggestions?

Hi, Thanks all. Seems I hadn´t realized that the VNC and SPICE native requires a proxy like squid. Going to set that up and see if I can get it working. Appreciate the help. Kind regards Kim

yeah, native viewers do not use websockets. A squid proxy would work.
Appreciate the help.
Kind regards
