Re: [libvirt] PATCH: Support VNC password for QEMU guests

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Daniel P. Berrange napsal(a):
This patch adds support for using the monitor interface to set the VNC
password

  (qemu) change vnc password
  Password: ********

A minor tricky thing is that we can't just send the command and password
all in one go, we must wait for the 'Password' prompt before sending the
password.

When doing this I noticed that virsh dumpxml has no way to request a
secure XML dump (required to see the password element), nor did the
virsh edit command set the SECURE or INACTIVE flags when changing
the XML.

I tried the patch and I've found that define command do not set the password as the SECURE flag is not set when defining the domain from XML file. This can be very unpleasant as it effectively disables the password when redefining the domain. I've tried this simple dirty hotfix

diff -ur b/domain_conf.c a/domain_conf.c

     }

     def = virDomainDefParseNode(conn, caps, xml, root,
-                                VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INACTIVE);
+ VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INACTIVE | VIR_DOMAIN_XML_SECURE );

 cleanup:
     xmlFreeParserCtxt (pctxt);


and it works. However there must be some better way how to do it but I do not know the libvirt source code good enough to find it.

P.S. I've also found that virt-manager is missing handler for login button when asking for password but I will send email to virt-manager mailing list about it.
