I tried this: TLS is an encryption protocol - same one used by HTTPS.

Yep, this tells me that TLS is not configured. Given that you are able to use it from virt-manager, I'd guess you're using SSH tunnelling in virt-manager.

On the 'Overview' tab in the dialog that pops up the first line shows 'Connection: [YOUR URI]' 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 :|
