[Users] Unable to access remote console in User portal from IE/Windows7

[nasir nasir]

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
