We can either consider the disk authentication secrests to be the same for every single level of the backing chain. In such case the user and secret are correctly placed in the 'Disk' structure. In such case, still every single level of the backing chain will eventually need to access them so that the authentication can be done for every member. We can also allow specifying a different one per every level of the backing chain, which would make more sense in some configurations and allow more flexibility. In such case we need to move them to the virStorageSource structure so that every level can have individual authentication data. In the long term I think that solution 1 would bite us and we'd need to add individual authentication for the volumes anyways. > One cannot reconstruct the <auth> element properly given that all the > arguments have is a username and an alias, but would need to have either > a "usage" or "uuid" string.

Having the password-secret > alias is OK, but really not useful. That is needed only for formatting of the command line (or monitor command) and for removing the correct secret on unplug. Most of the times you can infer it. We can as well as store it and not have to generate it all the time.

We can store the data in the status XML. The alias (in password secret) is needed only to remove them in case of unplug and it's not really necessary to trace back which secret was used to populate it. > A similar problem exists for RBD, but the RBD code in virstoragefile and > virstoragetest totally ignore the authentication pieces...

The test does not need to deal with this necessarily. My issue is with the JSON structure generator, which should be fully used. And that generator is private to the qemu driver.
