Yep libvirt supports a config file for credentials http://libvirt.org/auth.html#Auth_client_config For vmware esx IIRC you would create $HOME/.config/libvirt/auth.conf containing [credentials-prod] username=fred password=123456 [auth-esx-test1.example.com] credentials=prod [auth-esx-test2.example.com] credentials=prod [auth-esx-test3.example.com] credentials=prod Regards, Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :| _______________________________________________ libvirt-users mailing list libvirt-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvirt-users
