I have just started learning foreman. I added a KVM host to the foreman as a compute resource.

I can now provision VMs from foreman now but I cannot view the console of the VMs that are provisioned from foreman as I am prompted for a password.

Console requesting password

I am now sure what is requesting this password? I search for a couple of days but did not find any related posts.

Following is the XML dump:

  • Please show the virtual machine XML definition. You can get it with `sudo virsh dumpxml test3.redhat.local`. – Michael Hampton Jan 20 '19 at 15:25
  • The graphics should be set to SPICE and video QXL, not VNC and Cirrus. Shutdown the VM, change the video settings and try again. – Michael Hampton Jan 20 '19 at 18:22
  • I was looking at the "Display VNC" in the VM properties and saw a "password" checkbox. I unticked the box and now can view the console.Thanks for pointing in the right direction. – Jigar Jan 20 '19 at 18:35

Thanks Michael Hampton for pointing in the right direction.

I unchecked the following box to view the console.
