unable to creating/list storage pools using non-root user

[mallapadi niranjan <niranjan.ashok@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all

I have a Fedora release 17 (Beefy Miracle) with libvirt versions:

libvirt-0.9.11.3-1.fc17.x86_64

virt-manager-0.9.1-3.fc17.noarch

I have allowed non-root user to user libvirt by allowing the user through polkit

cat /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/cat 50-org.example-libvirt-remote-access.pkla 

[Remote libvirt SSH access]

Identity=unix-group:virt

Action="">

ResultAny=yes

ResultInactive=yes

ResultActive=yes

After doing the above i am able to connect to virt-manager as non-root user but unable to create storage pools. 

[juno@reserved ~]$ id

uid=1001(juno) gid=1001(juno) groups=1001(juno),1002(virt) context=staff_u:staff_r:staff_t:s0

[juno@reserved ~]$ virsh

Welcome to virsh, the virtualization interactive terminal.

Type:  'help' for help with commands

       'quit' to quit

virsh # pool-list

error: Failed to reconnect to the hypervisor

error: no valid connection

error: Failed to connect socket to '@/home/juno/.libvirt/libvirt-sock': Connection refused

virsh # list

error: Failed to reconnect to the hypervisor

error: no valid connection

error: Failed to connect socket to '@/home/juno/.libvirt/libvirt-sock': Connection refused

I have defined pool called virt-images (/virt-images) which the non-root (in this case the username is Juno)  user has the read/write permissions 

Also tried adding the permissions to unix socket in /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf as below:

 cat /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf  | grep -v ^$ | grep -v ^#

unix_sock_group = "virt"

unix_sock_ro_perms = "0777"

unix_sock_rw_perms = "0770"

unix_sock_dir = "/var/run/libvirt"

But the unix socket are created in /var/run/libvirt and not in users home directory, So how do we make a non-root user virsh commands check the socket created in /var/run/libvirt. It always checks for the socket in user's home directory ?

Any pointers on above would be helpfu.

Regards

Niranjan
