The tests say:

The intermediate certificate is not really needed. The explanation
is quite simple. If you navigate to the admin page over https
the apache webserver presents the intermediate certificate. 
This is temporarily stored in the (Firefox) browser. When you 
open the noVNC console it is automatically trusted. 

BUT! You will still get a certificate warning if you navigate directly
to https://<server>:6100 after opening the browser.

Nevertheless your hint seems to help. I just added the
intermediate certificate to the standard file 
/etc/pki/ovirt-engine/certs/websocket-proxy.cer
and a direct connect to https://<server>:6100 gives
no warnings.

Thanks.
