• VM with empty password not accessible

    In XML view set VNC password as: passwd=''.

    Start the VM.

    Attempt to connect to the VM using the web VNC client.

     

    Expected:

    Leave the password field blank and click on send password should establish the connection.

     

    Actual:

    The VNC client does not even try to authenticate if the password is empty.

     

    Bugs:

    1) The VNC client should not make any validations on the provided password.

        Instead, whatever the user provides should be immediately forwarded to the server.

    2) The form view section for the password should consist of 2 controls: checkbox and a textbox.

        Once the checkbox is checked, the attribute passwd should be added to the XML

        with value set to the contents of the textbox. Again, without any validation.

     

    Empty string is a valid password.
