    Remove ingress http port helm override

    Previously, the http port for kube-system ingress was set to 8081 in
    the helm override due to conflicts with port 80 and 8080 when the oam
    floating IP was used.
    Since the default local domain or a configured FQDN is now used to
    connect to horizon and novncproxy, the http port for ingress needs
    to be set back to the default port 80 for http.

This is still an issue. I can't reach the console on this url (see attached image)

http://novncproxy.openstack.svc.cluster.local/vnc_auto.html?token=3b216d51-a165-4403-bcbd-ee89d733aac8&title=Testing+STX(7be4d56c-850d-4567-98df-099ab4985549

I'm running a simplex configuration in a VM, so I don't have a DNS that can resolve "novncproxy.openstack.svc.cluster.local" if I open horizon in my host's browser.

If I try to reach the following URL, doesn't work neither.

http://10.10.10.3:6080/vnc_auto.html?token=3b216d51-a165-4403-bcbd-ee89d733aac8&title=Testing+STX(7be4d56c-850d-4567-98df-099ab4985549

However, I if create a SSH tunnel to expose the 6080 port then I can see the VNC console.

ssh -L 6080:localhost:6080 wrsroot@10.10.10.3
