Hi All,

I have been experimenting with Ovirt 3.1 and so far most of the things work. Many thanks indeed for this great free software! Now I am facing an issue for accessing the remote console in User Portal from windows 7 client using IE9. I am able to login to the User Portal and access the VM using the console button from Linux. But while I try the same from a windows 7 machine, it is NOT working. When I click on the console button, it doesn't pop any window or show anything. Some of the docs I read says that for the first time, I would be greeted with an ActiveX warning and can install the same to get the console. But I didnt get anything of that kind. So my questions to you all are,

-- Is User Portal and Console supported on Windows platform ? -- If supported, is there anything needed to be installed on the Windows machine from which I am trying to access the User Portal ?( I did install spice-guest-tools-0.exe on both VM and the Windows machine I am trying to access the User Portal) -- If not supported, what is the recommended way of accessing VMs from windows clients ? I understand that the firefox spice-xpi plugin is only for Linux.

Relevant info,

--OS : CentOS 6.3 64 bit -- ovirt-engine-setup-plugin-allinone-3.1.0-3.28.el6.noarch.rpm (Actually I used the repo from http://www.dreyou.org/ovirt/ , ) -- Client from which I am trying to access: Windows 7 (32bit), IE 9

Any reply would be highly appreciated and I would be more than happy to send any further details if needed. I searched a lot for any relevant docs for the same but could not find anything.

Thanks and regards, Nasir

Too bad there´s still the bug in UserPortal that forgets to pass on the address to which the console should connect, so it won´t work any way... /Karli

Thanks for sharing the documentation. Actually due to the lack of good doc= umentation for Ovirt, I was following RHEV guides along with ovirt guides a= nd hence  missed out this one.

But when I click to install,= nothing happens. So I manually installed using the virt-viewer exe file wh= ich I had got by extracting the spice.cab file and I am able to access the = console without any problem. This is OK for the time being as I can access the console from user portal after installing the ActiveX/spice plu= gins manually though I would strongly prefer the deployment model whereby u= sers can click and install the plugins on the fly as described in the above=
