Re: [Libvir] PATCH: 0/10: remote authentication support

This the 3rd iteration of the remote authentication / SASL patches previously provided here: v1: http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2007-October/msg00131.html v2: http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2007-November/msg00005.html This iteration has incorporate the feedback /bugs identified from previous iterations. It also adds in an API for a callback to collect credentials from the client applications, meaning username+password based authentication is now also supported alongside Kerberos/GSSAPI. I have also re-worked my previous PolicyKit patches: http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2007-September/msg00168.html To fit into the generic authentication RPC mechanisms I added for SASL. The resulting incremental patch for PolicyKit is much simpler, and integrates better with client applications. Finally, I have exposed the authentication callback support to python and prototyped its use in virt-manager as a sanity check for the whole API style.
