i have a problem with virt-manager authentication over tcp.
I tried it with virt-manager over non-TLS "TCP (SASL/Kerberos)" auth. and the sasl mechanism "shadow".
The user (tested with unprivileged user and root) is allready in the group libvirt(d) and the process is running as root.
The result on host:
Jan 18 21:05:31 host libvirtd: 21:05:31.620: error : remoteDispatchAuthSaslStep:3691 : sasl step failed -20 (SASL(-13): user not found: no secret in database)
on client (virt-manager gui):
...
('virtConnectOpenAuth() faild')
..
I have tested it with tool "testsaslauthd" and their result:
e.g.: # testsaslauthd -u root -p root
0: OK "Success."
When i set it manually with saslpasswd:
# saslpasswd2 -a libvirt root -p
it works.
Although I use, in the configuration of sasl, shadow, libvirt does not use it (i think so).
Host:
debian6.0.3 (squeez)
libvirt 0.8.3 (deb)
sasl2.1.23 (deb)
:-)
Best regards,
Robyn
