Actually due to the lack of good documentation for Ovirt, I was following RHEV guides along with ovirt guides and hence missed out this one. I followed the above link exactly(well, I think so :-) ) and still I could not get it done properly. When I click on the install plugin button using the URL http://my_ovirt_server/spice.html from the windows 7 machine which I was using to access the User Portal , it is giving me a warning message by the browser asking whether you want to install it or not (which is expected ). But when I click to install, nothing happens. So I manually installed using the virt-viewer exe file which I had got by extracting the spice.cab file and I am able to access the console without any problem. This is OK for the time being as I can access the console from user portal after installing the ActiveX/spice plugins manually though I would strongly prefer the deployment model whereby users can click and install the plugins on the fly as described in the above link.
