Feature enhancement request for VM portal

[Alexxio1981]

Hello to all,

please is there a way to customize the VM portal?

In my case I need to hide the "VNC console" value from the dropdown list inside
of selected VM properties and leave only "VNC Console Browser".
The user profile is "UserRole"

Thank you very much!

hi @Alexxio1981
There is currently no way to hide a console type, supported by the VM, from the dropdown list.
But on web-ui version 1.7.0 (oVirt 4.4.7) we added a new console options functionality for setting a default console type which will appear as the first option to choose from on dropdown menus (both dashboard and VM details consoles menu).

Is it enough or do you still want to hide the "VNC console" option?

hello @sgratch
for safety reason I need the possibility to hide this option because while editing the .vv file I see the Hypervisor IP address.

The UI could be configured by extending existing engine configuration flag
i.e. by adding NoVncOnly option. We could also provide a new flag.

However note that IP will still be visible in the REST API responses i.e. api/vms?follow=graphics_consoles. True security can be only provided by roles/permission mechanism that will block access to sensitive data.

I know that a spice proxy (config key SpiceProxyDefault) and a websocket proxy (config key WebSocketProxy) can be configured for ovirt. I'm not sure if there is a proxy capability for native vnc. If there is, all that @Alexxio1981 would need to do is setup and configure those proxies as needed to hide the host IP from the console user. At least in the case of the spice proxy, the ovirt engine should substitute the IP addresses in all of the rest calls etc.

Using a proxy for the consoles would be a better solution overall.

Since this is not active for almost a year and a solution was suggested above, I'm closing this issue
