The spice session implementation can retry authentication on its own, whereas the vnc session needs to tear down the session and re-connect in order to retry a failed authentication. This results in the following inconsistent behavior: VNC session: - emits a 'session-auth-failed' signal when the client does not support a particular authentication type (i.e.: a non-recoverable error) Spice session: - emits a 'session-auth-failed' signal when user enters an incorrect password, and immediately retries auth internally VNC session: - emits a 'session-auth-refused' error when user enters an invalid password (i.e.: a recoverable error) Spice Session: - never emits a 'session-auth-refused' signal Because of these differences, the VirtViewerApp code to handle authentication failures is a bit confusing and difficult to maintain. To fix this issue, make both the spice and VNC sessions emit the same signal when similar errors occur. We use the new session API added in the last commit to determine whether the session supports automatic retries so we know how to handle the signal. |

Virt Viewer =========== Virt Viewer provides a graphical viewer for the guest OS display. At this time is supports guest OS using the VNC or SPICE protocols. Further protocols may be supported in the future as user demand dicatates. The viewer can connect directly to both local and remotely hosted guest OS, optionally using SSL/TLS encryption. Virt Viewer can be built with either GTK2 or GTK3, with the default option currently being GTK2. The choice can be made with: ./configure --with-gtk=3.0 (or =2.0) Virt Viewer uses the GTK-VNC (>= 0.4.3) widget to provide a display of the VNC protocol, which is available from http://gtk-vnc.sourceforge.net/ Virt Viewer uses the SPICE-GTK (>= 0.22) widget to provide a display of the SPICE protocol, which is available from: http://spice-space.org/page/Spice-Gtk Use of either SPICE-GTK or GTK-VNC can be disabled at time of configure, with --without-gtk-vnc or --without-spice-gtk respectively. Virt Viewer uses libvirt to lookup information about the guest OS display. This is available from http://libvirt.org/ Further information about the Virt Viewer application can be found on the Virt Manager website: http://virt-manager.org/ Feedback should be directed to the mailing list at http://virt-manager.org/mailinglist.html -- End
