Hello Patrick,
                        with noVNC the connection is made via the 
websocket-poxy service (probably on the engine server).
The remote-viewer connects directly from the client machine to the virtual host 
the VM is running on. Maybe check the network/firewall between the client and 
the host, also the OTP expires after 120 seconds.


Regards,

Paul S.

Caution External Mail: Do not click any links or open any attachments unless 
you trust the sender and know that the content is safe.

The most common problem is the CA of oVirt not trusted in the web browser of 
the client.

Hello,

    As oVirt unfortuately now requires VNC for the VM consoles,
I've been attempting to get VNC mode working on my end user clients.

    The noVNC browser client works just fine, but for some reason
the default download to remote-viewer fails on the same hosts.

All the end-user gets is a quick flash of the remote-viewer window on
their screen.

Running remote-viewer in debug mode I get this:

It seems to be failing a credential request, but I'm not sure why. The
engine logs only show the VM console ticket being created, but does not
show any connection attempts unless noVNC is used.
