Synopsis
spice-activex-win enhancement update
Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Topic
An updated spice-activex-win package is now available.
Description
The spice-activex-win package provides an ActiveX plug-in for Internet Explorer
that enables users of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager to connect to
virtual machines using Spice.
The updated ActiveX plug-in is released as part of the rhevm-spice-client
package.
This updated package provides the following enhancements and fixes the following
bugs:
- The spice client now supports CAC Smartcard integration; the spice-active-x
component now passes such requests to the client. (BZ#567139)
- Previously, when using the new Native USB Policy mode, connected USB devices
were always shared regardless of whether the Enable USB Auto-Share option was
selected. This issue has been resolved, and USB devices are correctly shared
according to their setting in the Enable USB Auto-Share field. (BZ#856605)
- Previously, when using a Windows client, the "pass control alt delete" check
box in the user portal was not correctly configured. This meant that regardless
of whether or not it was ticked, pressing "ctrl+alt+del" would not correctly
send the event to the guest. Now, the call is handled correctly and the check
box will always send "ctrl+alt+del" to the guest when ticked. (BZ#752093)
- HTTP proxy support is now available for SPICE clients. The "Proxy" property
has been added to the SPICE ActiveX plugin, to configure the client setting via
the controller. (BZ#909496)
All administrators of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization environments are advised
to install these updated packages.
