Hi Christophe, I read through some govirt code, and I think you're right that gvfs is only used during the fetching of the certificate. If that's the case, I will start by not fetching the CA automatically, but requiring for users to provide it to aSPICE the same way as they have to provide it for a simple SPICE connection (within the "Import CA" dialog in aSPICE, which is analogous to the --spice-ca-file option in virt-viewer). I think this will work for most if not all people.
