Problem with connecting VM via Spice

Hi!

We have an LDAP-authenticated Proxmox Virtual Environment, Version 4.1.15.

We are using the SPICE-Protokoll connecting to VMs. Some VMs (not all) having problems connecting to console and always asking for a password (please see attached screenshot). We do never have set up a password for the Spice session, so we are wondering about that. It is not the LDAP-Password. So we can't use the console for that server. This happens with Windows-VMs as well as with Linux-VMs. The only solution to use the Spice-Console is to hard shutdown the VM an restart it. That is disappointing.

Does anybody know a solution?

Thanks & Regards,
Daniel

Hi,
this problem is still present and not solved. But I should mention, that it's happens only with SPICE console and not with noVNC.
Version by now is (pveversion -v):

I still see this problem on PVE4 updated
(which was originally manually installed onto Debian8 minimal)

Code:
auser@debian8:~$ pveversion -v

I did try saving the tmp file and editing out the password field before opening with 'remote-viewer' but that was no help.
