[Users] Cannot connect to VM via browser if engine was not in /etc/hosts

[David Jaša]

Hi,

So you're connecting via User Portal but then it doesn't work? If it
doesn't, either you hit a bug or you've tweaked some value that affects
things...

In general, TLS shouldn't pose a problem because:
1) ovirt sets up its own CA that issues certificates for the hosts
2) the CA certificate and respective host certificate subject are passed to the client
3) the client can verify the host using these information even in cases when connection IP/FQDN doesn't match CN in subject of server certificate

The only condition that indeed breaks it should be display network
address override _when migrating the VM_ (because then the connection
data are passed via the host and libvirt doesn't allow to pass the
arbitrary IP/FQDN yet)

David

PS: Itamar, advice to disable SSL/TLS is IMO bad, bad thing. ;)
