libvirtd is not listening for TLS connection by default. Setting 'listen_tls = 1' in /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf does not help either. However, starting 'libvirtd --listen' does work. I'm running Fedora 8. I prefer to use the configuration file since it is automatically started when the system reboots. Does anyone know how to configure libvirtd to listen for tls?
Yes. As you found out, there are 2 things you need to do, the first of which is to instruct libvirtd to listen, and the second of which is to make it listen for TLS. You can accomplish the first on Fedora by editing /etc/sysconfig/libvirtd and uncommenting the LIBVIRTD_ARGS="--listen" line. You can accomplish
the
second by edit /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf by uncommenting the "listen_tls = 1" line. Then "service libvirtd restart", and you should be good to go(this will also preserve the configuration across reboots).
Chris Lalancette Thanks for the quick response. That solved the problem. I suggest updating the web document on remote support.
