[ovirt-users] useful workaround for catch-22 situation with nic drivers and Windows
Hello, I just wanted to post a nice workaround I came up with in case it helps anybody. The reason I needed it is that in oVirt 4.4, it appears I am unable to change the nic1 type when creating VMs (maybe that's a bug?) and I necessarily end up with the default nic1 type which needs a virtio driver in Windows which is obviously not present on a clean install. Also, since there is no networking, it can't be downloaded. I did think of mounting a USB stick via remote-viewer, but something is wonky there too - the USB device selection menu item is grayed out, and no, it's not permissions. So what i did was to create an .iso file with spice-guest-tools-latest.exe in it and copy the resulting iso file to the ISO domain. Then, I was easily able to attach the ISO to the Windows machine in question and install spice-guest-tools, which made the network adapter work. Quick snippet of how I created the .iso: $ find test test test/spice-guest-tools-latest.exe $ mkisofs -o spice-tools.iso test I: -input-charset not specified, using utf-8 (detected in locale settings) Total translation table size: 0 Total rockridge attributes bytes: 0 Total directory bytes: 116 Path table size(bytes): 10 Max brk space used 0 5124 extents written (10 MB) Hope it helps somebody :).

Re: [ovirt-users] [ovirt-devel] [RFC] oVirt mobile client
Hi Christophe, They share a part of their code-base, primarily in the native implementation. However, Opaque has a substantially reimplemented UI. They both live in the same repository, though, and the plan was to bring them closer together over time. I see aSPICE as analogous to spicy and Opaque as analogous to virt-viewer.

For those who are not familiar with the project, it is an oVirt/RHEV graphics console client which supports the SPICE protocol so far. It uses libgovirt to connect to the oVirt/RHEV API. I also created a separate pure SPICE client (called aSPICE) for Android based on libspice. It would be nice if I got more feedback from Red Hat developers, but you guys are probably as busy as I am :). The app is getting attention on Google Play and people are using it successfully for their installations, it seems. I have plans to add the following features to Opaque, time permitting: - Ability to edit default settings, so that people who connect with console.vv file will be able to configure Audio, keyboard layout, etc. - The ability to allocate VMs from a pool. - The ability to control Audio Playback and Recording separately. I don't think Opaque needs to get portal-management functionality. I was contacted by an intern working on movirt (Sphoorti Joglekar, cc-ed), asking whether I would be willing to support a URI Intent scheme that movirt can use to launch aSPICE. I think I already have a pretty well specified URI scheme that may work for the purpose, so we'll see how that goes. I am wondering whether it wouldn't be better to launch aSPICE or Opaque with a console.vv file instead, though. I guess the developers of movirt will have to consider both options. At any rate, Opaque is far from dead. I'm security supporting it, I just don't find a lot of time to work on additional features.

(adding Brian properly this time) I think it makes sense to add it together with something…though maybe more related to SPICE clients. So adding Christophe for his thoughts… Opaque seems to be more an oVirt client than a SPICE client, so I'd tend to think it would be a better fit as an oVirt project. aSPICE would fit well together with other SPICE repositories, dunno if these are the same code base or not (?).

One caviat is that in order to be able to obtain the true unicode value from the IME, I've had to interpret ALT meta state as belonging to the KeyEvent rather than something that should be passed on to the VM. The reason for this is that on Android, some characters like the German ß appears as ALT+s to me, and that's the only way to properly capture it. In fact, if you type ALT+s manually, while using the German layout, you will get a ß on the remote side. Hence, the Hacker's keyboard ALT cannot be used as an ALT. Thankfully, though, there is a nice workaround. The on-screen ALT button is exempt from such considerations and works just fine. Once the project gains a larger user-base, I expect that interested people will be able to help me create their own keyboard layout map files. The final format will be documented and the documentation will be available in the source distribution. Everyone, thank you very much in advance for your input!

The reason for this is that on Android, some characters like the German ß appears as ALT+s to me, and that's the only way to properly capture it. In fact, if you type ALT+s manually, while using the German layout, you will get a ß on the remote side. Hence, the Hacker's keyboard ALT cannot be used as an ALT. Thankfully, though, there is a nice workaround. The on-screen ALT button is exempt from such considerations and works just fine. Once the project gains a larger user-base, I expect that interested people will be able to help me create their own keyboard layout map files. The final format will be documented and the documentation will be available in the source distribution. Everyone, thank you very much in advance for your input!

Re: [Users] oVirt/RHEV Android client (Opaque) available for beta testing
Hi Marian, I'm cc-ing the list because I think this may be valuable information for other people trying this on Android 2.3 devices. On Tue, Dec 17, 2013 at 2:54 PM, Marian Krcmarik mkrcm...@redhat.comwrote: I was fighting with RHEVM3.2/3.3 User/Admin Portal and vv files on Android and I must admit I am defeated. Firefox constantly crashes when trying to access console (by clicking on Console button), once It even rebooted my Android phone. Firefox works for me on my 4.3 and now upgraded 4.4 Nexus 4. UC Browser and Opera Mini crashes when trying to open User/Admin portal page. Opera Mobile does not do anything when clicking on Console button but at least does not crash. I haven't tried Opera Mini, but UC Browser works for me on my device. So I gave up, maybe It's because of my Android 2 phone. It may very well be Android 2.3 causing all this trouble. Alternatively, your phone may not have enough RAM to run these browsers. At any rate, I'd say the bottom line is that the console.vv route will not work for Android 2.3 devices unless we can figure out a browser that works well enough. What browser did you use for accessing console? To summarize, I've successfully obtained console.vv through Chrome, Firefox, and UCBrowser. The Admin console is not rendered well in any of those browsers, whereas the User console seems to be rendered well enough in any of them. For the User portal to be useful, however, we need to work around the double-click requirement first.

Re: [Users] feature request - support getting console.vv with a single click
Hi Michal, Thanks for fixing the product information on the bug-report. I see that single-click is used to select a VM to show details on the right at the moment, so I understand your reluctance to change the default behavior. That said, I think having users look for the console icon in the right pane may generate a lot of questions. Here are some suggestions for you to consider: 1) What about adding an icon (somewhat separated to reduce the likelihood of mis-taps) to the bottom row of icons where Run/Shutdown/Suspend are? This is not ideal, but if we put it all the way on the left where the Run button is, the danger is minimal. 2) What do you think about changing the Run icon to an Attach to console icon once the machine is up instead of graying it out? 3) Another possibility is dedicating one corner of the entire icon (e.g. top right) for the purpose. This way, users can still single-click/tap near the middle to see details and use the top right to get console.vv. On a device with a small screen and touch interface, ideally one should be able to easily tap a (relatively) big icon for any functionality. Therefore, apart from these suggestions, I think that making all existing icons a bit bigger would make it easier for a users to tap on a mobile device with a small screen. What do you think? Hopefully one or more of these ideas will work for you!

Re: [Users] oVirt/RHEV Android client (Opaque) available for beta testing
Hi Nathanael, Supporting non-US keyboard layouts will only be convenient and good if libspice supported a separate channel for sending unicode characters over to the vdagent of the guest. The reason is that mobile devices generally do not generate scan codes with soft-input keyboards, and I basically resort to mapping characters to scancodes which is non-optimal. As far as the other question you have, my setup is a FreeIPA server with a bunch of users on it, which has been added to oVirt. I'm able to authenticate with both admin@internal and all of the users in LDAP. You must enter user@domain, and not just user for the authentication to work, however. If this still doesn't help you, can you tell me what difference do you think it makes for the client whether oVirt is authenticating against AD or FreeIPA?

Re: [Users] Free IPA + oVirt setup fails
Hi Juan, Thanks for your suggestions! On Sun, Nov 24, 2013 at 5:36 AM, Juan Hernandez jhern...@redhat.com wrote: Here you are experiencing two security features of the engine. The first one is the multiple level administration (a.k.a. MLA). The engine organizes objets in hierarchy: a set of data centers, then inside each data center a set of clusters, and inside each cluster a set of virtual machines. When you assign a permission to a user or group you in fact assign it to one of these objects, and objects deeper in the tree inherit them. So if you assign the create vm permission to user A and the default data center, then that user will have permission to create VMs on any cluster of that data center. I guess that the two users that you initially created had the permission on the default data center or the default cluster, so they have the permissions apply to all the VMs. Try to go to the data center or cluster tabs and see if the users have permissions there, then remove them as needed. When I looked at the Data Centers and Clusters tabs and examined the permissions given to the users, UserA and UserB have UserRole permissions granted on both the default data center and the default cluster. Moreover, I am unable to remove them, as the Remove selection is always grayed out. Furthermore, examining the permissions on UserA's VM, I can see that only UserA has been granted UseRole permission on it. No other user is mentioned. So do the UserRole permissions granted to UserA and UserB in the Data Center and Cluster explain the fact that they can see and attach to other people's VM's? If so, do I have to take the data center and cluster down to remove the UserRole permissions for the users? Also, how could I prevent this permission from getting added to the Data Center and Cluster automatically? I haven't added it myself and it says that it's an inherited permission (System). The other thing you are experiencing is the prevention of hijacking of the console of a VM. Yes, I understand. I remember seeing the option you mention when creating/editing VMs. I mentioned this more as a way to explain why UserB was initially not able to connect to UserA's VM where in fact, it was possible upon a clean boot.

[Users] Free IPA + oVirt setup fails
Hi guys, I'm trying to work around the impossibility of adding local users into oVirt by setting up a FreeIPA server for my test rig... :( Everything is Fedora 19 and whatever package versions come with it. 1) I have an A-record, a PTR-record and the necessary SRV records for my server in dnsmasq on my OpenWRT router: ptr-record=60.2.168.192.in-addr.arpa,freeipa.iiordanov.com srv-host=_kerberos-master._tcp,freeipa.iiordanov.com,88,0,100 srv-host=_kerberos-master._udp,freeipa.iiordanov.com,88,0,100 srv-host=_kerberos._tcp,freeipa.iiordanov.com,88,0,100 srv-host=_kerberos._udp,freeipa.iiordanov.com,88,0,100 srv-host=_kpasswd._tcp,freeipa.iiordanov.com,464,0,100 srv-host=_kpasswd._udp,freeipa.iiordanov.com,464,0,100 srv-host=_ldap._tcp,freeipa.iiordanov.com,389,0,100 2) I have run ipa-server-install and everything completed without error. I've disabled the firewall on the server completely and the iptables chains are all clean. I've rebooted the server just in case. 3) When I try to add the IPA server to oVirt, I get a nasty error! # engine-manage-domains -action=add -domain=iiordanov.com -user=admin -provider=ipa -interactive Enter password: General error has occurednull java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException at sun.security.jgss.krb5.CipherHelper.aes256Encrypt(CipherHelper.java:1367) at sun.security.jgss.krb5.CipherHelper.encryptData(CipherHelper.java:722) at sun.security.jgss.krb5.WrapToken_v2.init(WrapToken_v2.java:200) at sun.security.jgss.krb5.Krb5Context.wrap(Krb5Context.java:861) at sun.security.jgss.GSSContextImpl.wrap(GSSContextImpl.java:385) at com.sun.security.sasl.gsskerb.GssKrb5Base.wrap(GssKrb5Base.java:104) at com.sun.jndi.ldap.sasl.SaslOutputStream.write(SaslOutputStream.java:89) at com.sun.jndi.ldap.Connection.writeRequest(Connection.java:430) at com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapClient.search(LdapClient.java:555) at com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtx.doSearch(LdapCtx.java:1985) at com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtx.searchAux(LdapCtx.java:1847) at com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtx.c_search(LdapCtx.java:1772) at com.sun.jndi.toolkit.ctx.ComponentDirContext.p_search(ComponentDirContext.java:386) at com.sun.jndi.toolkit.ctx.PartialCompositeDirContext.search(PartialCompositeDirContext.java:356) at com.sun.jndi.toolkit.ctx.PartialCompositeDirContext.search(PartialCompositeDirContext.java:339) at javax.naming.directory.InitialDirContext.search(InitialDirContext.java:267) at org.ovirt.engine.core.ldap.RootDSEData.init(RootDSEData.java:52) at org.ovirt.engine.core.utils.kerberos.JndiAction.getDomainDN(JndiAction.java:257) at org.ovirt.engine.core.utils.kerberos.JndiAction.run(JndiAction.java:87) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at javax.security.auth.Subject.doAs(Subject.java:356) at org.ovirt.engine.core.utils.kerberos.KerberosConfigCheck.promptSuccessfulAuthentication(KerberosConfigCheck.java:174) at org.ovirt.engine.core.utils.kerberos.KerberosConfigCheck.validateKerberosInstallation(KerberosConfigCheck.java:150) at org.ovirt.engine.core.utils.kerberos.KerberosConfigCheck.checkInstallation(KerberosConfigCheck.java:135) at org.ovirt.engine.core.domains.ManageDomains.checkKerberosConfiguration(ManageDomains.java:746) at org.ovirt.engine.core.domains.ManageDomains.testConfiguration(ManageDomains.java:917) at org.ovirt.engine.core.domains.ManageDomains.addDomain(ManageDomains.java:539) at org.ovirt.engine.core.domains.ManageDomains.runCommand(ManageDomains.java:311) at org.ovirt.engine.core.domains.ManageDomains.main(ManageDomains.java:206) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:57) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:606) at org.jboss.modules.Module.run(Module.java:260) at org.jboss.modules.Main.main(Main.java:291) Failure while testing domain %1$s.

Re: [Users] Free IPA + oVirt setup fails
Hey, I actually realized that something I wrote is inaccurate. UserB, who was not granted permission to any VM was actually able to connect to a freshly booted UserA's VM. Subsequently, UserA was unable to connect to his own VM anymore, and the error message was: Operation Failed: [user cannot force reconnect to vm] When UserB then shut down UserA's VM, UserA was able to power it on and attach to it. Subsequently, UserB was not able to connect to the VM again with the same message UserA was getting (user cannot force connect to vm). What I expected is that UserB would not see, not be able to power control, and not be able to attach at all to UserA's VM, so this behavior is quite puzzling to me! Any clarification and help would be appreciated!

Re: [Users] replacing self-signed certificates
Hi Thomas, Thanks for your response! This goes a long way, however there is still the unknown where ovirt-engine takes the SPICE certificate and CA from.
