B.6.3. Turning on SPICE Proxy

Summary

This procedure explains how to activate (or turn on) the SPICE proxy.

Procedure B.3. Activating SPICE Proxy

On the Manager, use the engine-config tool to set a proxy:
```
# engine-config -s SpiceProxyDefault=someProxy
```
Restart the ovirt-engine service:
```
# service ovirt-engine restart
```
The proxy must have this form:
```
protocol://[host]:[port]
```
Note
Only the http protocol is supported by SPICE clients. If https is specified, the client will ignore the proxy setting and attempt a direct connection to the hypervisor.

Result

SPICE Proxy is now activated (turned on). It is now possible to connect to the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization network through the SPICE proxy.
