Spice-gtk doesn't have similar option, as it automatically try unsecure and then secure, since channel type can only be on one of the two. I can imagine it could be interesting to have this option to add a run-time check that the channels are really secure when you requested it. Feel free to open a bug if you want such check.

remote-viewer spice://localhost?port=5900&tls-port=5901

there is a bunch of spice options, check "--help-spice" list, including --spice-host-subject.

You can specify --spice-ca-file or it will use this code by default:

114     if (ca_file == NULL) {
115         const char *homedir = g_getenv("HOME");
116         if (!homedir)
117             homedir = g_get_home_dir();
118         ca_file = g_strdup_printf("%s/.spicec/spice_truststore.pem", homedir);
119     }

Which I am not sure what it translates to for Windows. We may want to have a more common and defined path instead of reusing spicec one.

It's not used by remote-viewer actually, but virt-viewer is able to open ssh tunnels when needed.
