Ah, the authentication callback is used for hypervisor level
authentication. You cannot provide credentials for SSH transport level
authentication through the libvirt API. You'll need to setup the SSL
certificates properly to enable automatic SSH login if you don't want
to be prompted for the SSH credentials.

Ohh... ok... it's not really what I want (because I could have many
different machines to configure).
Reading to libvirt sources (the c file) it seams that auth callbacks
should be used also for the ssh code (inside openSSHSession method):
virConnectCredential creds[] = {
{VIR_CRED_PASSPHRASE, "password", "Password", NULL, NULL,
0},
};
if (!auth || !auth->cb) {
PHYP_ERROR(conn, VIR_ERR_AUTH_FAILED,
"%s", _("No authentication callback
provided."));
goto disconnect;
}
maybe in some way it's possible to use ssh too with auth (I don't know
but I want to try).
Anyway, Matt, if I expose libvirt over tcp can I use it directly with
provided callbacks?
Thanks a lot
Bye
