As Itamar already said, it:
* sets up TLS and enforces it.
* sets up temporary ticket

If you want to connect to the console manually, you have to set up the
ticket - on the server, follow these steps in order to achieve it (from
top of my head, can contain typos):
VM_UUID="$(vdsClient -s 0 list table | grep $VM_NAME | awk '{print $1}')"
vdsClient -s 0 setVmTicket $VM_UUID $PASSWORD $TIMEOUT

For TLS, you'll need CA file and host subject in case of host name used
on CLI not matching host name in server cert CN. Assuming you're
connecting from some other computer:
SUBJECT="$(ssh root@$HOST 'grep Subject: /etc/pki/vdsm/libvirt-spice/server-cert.pem' | sed -e 's/, /,/')"
scp root@$HOST:/etc/pki/rhevm/ca.pem $CA_FILE
remote-viewer --spice-ca-file=$CA_FILE --spice-host-subject=$SUBJECT spice://$HOST/?port=$PORT,tls-port=$SECURE_PORT
# it will ask for password in pop-up window
# OR you can use "good old" spicec:
spicec --ca-file=$CA_FILE --host-subject=$SUBJECT -h $HOST -p $PORT -s $SECURE_PORT -w $PASSWORD

PS: given all the info, I guess you've run into some instance of this
downstream bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=839548
