** Description changed:

- Version essex2.
+ Currently the VNC console functionality on Horizon needs a work around
+ since VNCNovaAuthMiddleware is returning the hostname instead of the
+ host IP to websocket.js.
  
- Currently the VNC console functionality on Horizon does not work since
- VNCNovaAuthMiddleware is
+ The reason is because the 'host' column in the 'instances' table
+ defaults to socket.gethostname() if the --host flag is an empty string.
  
- returning 'hostname' instead of 'hostip' as 'host' to websocket.js.
+ If the server which is running vncproxy has a alias of hostnames in its
+ /etc/hosts file, it works fine.
  
- Works well if you force the 'host' value to 'hostip' at the line below:
+ Without the alias, the vncproxy cannot forward the browser to the
+ compute node which the vm instance is running.

- 
- I'll find a way to get the host_ip from
- nova.compute.manager.ComputeManager.get_vnc_console().
+ You could set the --host to the compute node IP in every conf file but
+ it would be better if 'host' could default to $my_ip when deploying to

Title:
  vncproxy returns hostname instead of hostip

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  New

Bug description:
  Currently the VNC console functionality on Horizon needs a work around
  since VNCNovaAuthMiddleware is returning the hostname instead of the
  host IP to websocket.js.

  The reason is because the 'host' column in the 'instances' table
  defaults to socket.gethostname() if the --host flag is an empty
  string.

  If the server which is running vncproxy has a alias of hostnames in
  its /etc/hosts file, it works fine.

  Without the alias, the vncproxy cannot forward the browser to the
  compute node which the vm instance is running.

  You could set the --host to the compute node IP in every conf file but
  it would be better if 'host' could default to $my_ip when deploying to
  many machines.
