Hello,

My apologies for cross-posting, but this discussion concerns both mailing lists, I think.

In Opaque, I recently started setting the proxy property of SpiceSession from a console file, as is done in remote-viewer, in order to support installations where the nodes are not "visible" from the point of view of the client.

However, then I remembered that I have not seen the proxy property being available through the oVirt/RHEV API. I looked at the latest remote-viewer code, and I looked through the oVirt/RHEV API documentation, and indeed, I see no way to get proxy information other than through the console.vv file.

If I am correct, then this means that both Opaque and remote-viewer cannot connect to VMs behind a proxy unless a console.vv file is used, which also means that since console.vv files are unobtainable through the User Portal on mobile devices, mobile devices effectively cannot at all connect to such VMs if the user is not an Administrator.

Would it be possible to expose the proxy parameter through the API? I couldn't find a bug opened about this, but it doesn't mean it isn't there :).

Thanks! iordan

You are right. Obtaining the global proxy setting is currently impossible in the API. There is no bug requesting it, as far as I know.
