Hi List,
I have a question about some troubles I am having with virsh on Windows
x64. I am currently running a KVM server on a linux box and need to
allow Windows clients to access it. I have set up the server for access
with:
```
listen_tls = 0
listen_tcp = 1
auth_tcp = "none"
```
I assume you're merely doing this for sake of testing / debugging.
This opens libvirtd connections with no access control, which is
equivalent to running an SSH server allowing root logins with no
password. ie you never want to do this in real deployments.
to allow for remote access while testing things. I have verified
that I
can connect remotely from other linux machines, but my windows machine
always reports:
```
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
error: An error occurred, but the cause is unknown
```
On the server side I see:
```
10435: error : virNetSocketReadWire:1793 : Cannot recv data: Connection
reset by peer
```
This happens no matter what build of virsh for windows I am using. I
have tried 3 different mingw-64 builds and versions and am about to just
build my own from scratch. I have verified that it is not the firewall
or the version of Windows I am using. I am also able to use virsh
within a docker or from the Windows Subsystem for Linux bash prompt.
Any ideas as to what could be causing this connection reset? It happens
as soon as a connection attempt occurs and I am running out of idea.
When running virsh, set 'LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1' environment variable, so we
can see some debug logs, which might give a hint as to what is wrong.
Regards,
Daniel
