[Spice-devel] connect my vm with a web portal using spice in window 7

Thu Sep 15 14:01:50 PDT 2011

Hi David,
Thanks for your answer.
I am very new and I do not have much knowledge on how to make it run.
From red hat doc if we want to run it on windows I need to have the plugin activeX before I can run it in Internet Explorer. When I try the script I was using I did not have Internet Explorer complaining about missing plugin.
When I was using firefox on windows 7 I had a message saying I was missing plugins.
I do not think I have Spice-XPI for Windows. do you need it to run firefox and internet ecplorer?
How do we install spice-XPI with Firefox?
How do you use it? Is it workin on linux or on windows?
I am using windows 7.
Thanks and best regards,
Stephen

This way, you're connecting to unsecured port,

But here, you're trying to connect to secured port, that requires host
to have some actually opened and on client side, pass CA certificate
with --ca-certificate cert.pem (CLI) or
spice.TrustStore=DER_encoded_cert (controller interface - spiceX or
spice-XPI) and --host-subject / spice.HostSubject

            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I'm assuming you're using spice-XPI with Firefox based on this line, so
I'll attach "my" test page that is known to work. Let us know if it will
work for you.

BTW where did you get Spice-XPI for Windows?
