https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=957294 Based on reviews of the the v2/v3 changes to the storage backend drivers regarding the call to perform the authentication, see (and followups): https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-July/msg00910.html I moved the authentication of the pool back into the startPool callback instread of the findPoolSources() as was done for the original patches, see: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-May/msg01887.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-May/msg01886.html Although the plain text option was removed. In order to achieve the goal of getting the secret, the startPool path needed a connection to a driver, so like the nwfilter_driver I chose a qemu connection. Deciding whether to use a privileged connection or not was made based on the privileged value set during storage driver state initialization. Maintaining that state allows for the decision further in the storageDriverAutostart() code to make the connection. Adjusted the existing rbd authentication to take advantage of this as well. >From what I see in just reading the code, this path would have sent a NULL 'conn' to the virStorageBackendRBDOpenRADOSConn() via the call from volStorageBackendRBDRefreshVolInfo() (eg, refreshPool()) and would have failed with a "failed to find the secret"). Whether this was a latent issue or not - I'm not quite sure. This code follows Osier's original change to be sure to call he secret driver 'secretGetValue' directly rather than through the virSecretGetValue() API. Using the same connection paradigm for the chap/iscsi authentication path in order to access the secret driver 'secretGetValue' directly rather than through the virSecretGetValue() API.
