In fact, Rich did the former (XML describes the parameters to collect):

test driver: Add authentication to test driver.
There is no easy way to test authentication against libvirt. This
commit modifies the test driver to allow simple username/password
authentication.
You modify the test XML by adding:
<node>
...
<auth>
<user password="123456">rich</user>
<user>jane</user>
</auth>
</node>
If there are any /node/auth/user elements, then authentication is
required by the test driver (if none are present, then the test driver
will work as before and not require authentication).
In the example above, two phony users are added:
rich password: 123456
jane no password required
The test driver will demand a username. If the password attribute is
present (or if the username entered is wrong), then the password is
also asked for and checked:
$ virsh -c test://$(pwd)/testnode.xml list
Enter username for localhost: rich
Enter rich's password for localhost: ***
