I have requested a wiki account so I will just need someone to
grant the proper create/edit page access or create a stub page and
allow edit access to it.<br>

I have seen this question
asked many times on this list and the
spice-devel list. Now having figured out how to
make it work I will provide the answer to the
rest of the community.<br>
<br>
*NOTE* this only applies to Windows/Internet
Explorer users. There exists no other option
other than the html5 spice console (still
beta/in development) for windows users ATM. This
will also only work with Internet Explorer.<br>
<br>
Basic Steps:<br>
- Install an oVirt server.<br>
- Add at least one node<br>
- Setup storage/iso/export domains<br>
<br>
Advanced steps<br>
- Start by downloading: <a href="http://elmarco.fedorapeople.org/spice.cab" target="_blank">http://elmarco.fedorapeople.org/spice.cab</a><br>
- Create a directory for it oVirt looks by
default in /usr/share/spice<br>
- Rename spice.cab to SpiceX.cab and copy it
into /usr/share/spice<br>
- Now edit
/usr/share/ovirt-engine/engine.ear/root.war/WEB-INF
and add the following:<br>
<br>
<!-- SpiceX.cab --><br>
<servlet><br>
<servlet-name>SpiceX.cab</servlet-name><br>
<servlet-class>org.ovirt.engine.core.FileServlet</servlet-class><br>
<init-param><br>
<param-name>type</param-name><br>
<param-value>application/octet-stream</param-value><br>
</init-param><br>
<init-param><br>
<param-name>file</param-name><br>
<param-value>/usr/share/spice/SpiceX.cab</param-value><br>
</init-param><br>
</servlet><br>
<servlet-mapping><br>
<servlet-name>SpiceX.cab</servlet-name><br>
<url-pattern>/spice/SpiceX.cab</url-pattern><br>
</servlet-mapping><br>
<br>
- Next create an html file within
/usr/share/ovirt-engine/engine.ear/root.war<br>
- In the example below an html file called
"spice.html"<br>
- Copy/Paste the below into spice.html:<br>
<br>
<!DOCTYPE html><br>
<html><br>
<head><br>
<title>SPICE Plugin
Installer</title><br>
<br>
<script type="text/javascript"><br>
function installSpice()<br>
{<br>
try {<br>
document.getElementById('SpiceX').innerHTML
= '<OBJECT id="SpiceX"
codebase="/spice/SpiceX.cab"
classid="clsid:ACD6D89C-938D-49B4-8E81-DDBD13F4B48A"
width="0" height="0"></OBJECT>';<br>
} catch (ex) {<br>
alert("Epic Fail!: " + ex.Description);<br>
}<br>
} <br>
</script><br>
<br>
</head><br>
<body><br>
<p><br>
<p><b id='SpiceX'>Spice ActiveX
Plugin</b> </p> <br>
<button
onclick='installSpice()'>Install Spice
Plugin</button><br>
</p><br>
</body><br>
</html><br>
<br>
- Save the file<br>
- You will now need to restart the ovirt-engine
service EG: systemctl restart
ovirt-engine.service OR service ovirt-engine
restart<br>
- The installer page will now be available at <a>http://</a><url to
ovirt server>/spice.html EX: <a href="http://ovirt.azeroth.net/spice.html" target="_blank">http://ovirt.azeroth.net/spice.html</a><br>
- Navigate to that page and click the install
button<br>
- IE will prompt you to deploy/install the
SpiceX cabinet file<br>
- It may gripe about an unsigned or untrusted
source, acknowledge this an proceed anyways<br>
- If the install succeeds the text "Spice
ActiveX Plugin" on the page will change to blank
(it's actually the plugin with null values)<br>
- The console button in the user and webadmin
portals will now launch the new virt-viwer spice
based console!<br>
<br>
Happy Spice Consoling to your VM's from Windows!<br>
<br>
*NOTE*<br>
To uninstall the plugin:<br>
- The below removes the add-on from IE (EG:
removes knowledge of "application/x-spice")<br>
- pop a command terminal and type:<br>
On Windows XP: regsvr32 /u "C:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator\Local
Settings\Application
Data\virt-viewer\bin\SpiceX.dll"<br>
On Windows 7 regsvr32 /u C:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator\Local
Settings\AppData\virt-viewer\bin\SpiceX.dll"<br>
- Next we need to remove the rest of virt-viewer<br>
- Go to add/remove programs and uninstall
virt-viewer, this removes the rest of
virt-viewer from the system<br>
