Accessing libvirtd remotely as non-root user

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

 



I manage libvirtd on a few remote machines, and my security policies require me to disable root login via SSH. Up to this point, I've been using root due to the systems being in staging, but this is the final step before they're moved to production.

What is the current proscribed method of connecting virt-manager or virsh to a remote system with a non-root account? I keep getting "authentication failed: no agent is available to authenticate" with a user that is in the kvm and qemu groups on the systems I've tried using the ssh transport.

Thanks in advance
Dan
