If an environment specific _tls_x509_cert_dir is provided, then do not VIR_STRDUP the defaultTLSx509secretUUID as that would be for the "default" environment and not the vnc, spice, chardev, or migrate environments. If the environment needs a secret to decode it's certificate, then it must provide the secret. If the secrets happen to be the same, then configuration would use the same UUID as the default (but we cannot assume that nor can we assume that the secret would be necessary). Signed-off-by: John Ferlan <jferlan(a)redhat.com&gt; --- While responding to a different patch today regarding Veritas and usage of a default environment w/ or w/o secrets I realized that the existing logic has a flaw in "assuming" that someone would want to use the default secret. What if they defined their own environment without a secret? Then the code would create a secret object to pass to QEMU which would think it needs to use it to decode the server certificate (but it doesn't), so it would seemingly fail the start. I assume based on the lack of complaints about this that everyone just uses the default environment! src/qemu/qemu_conf.c | 10 +++++++--- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_conf.c b/src/qemu/qemu_conf.c index c4714ed..a7a2aaa 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_conf.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_conf.c @@ -526,14 +526,18 @@ int virQEMUDriverConfigLoadFile(virQEMUDriverConfigPtr cfg, goto cleanup; \ if (rv == 0) \ cfg->val## TLSx509verify = cfg->defaultTLSx509verify; \ - if (virConfGetValueString(conf, #val "_tls_x509_cert_dir", \ - &cfg->val## TLSx509certdir) < 0) \ + if ((rv = virConfGetValueString(conf, #val "_tls_x509_cert_dir", \ + &cfg->val## TLSx509certdir)) < 0) \ goto cleanup; \ if (virConfGetValueString(conf, \ #val "_tls_x509_secret_uuid", \ &cfg->val## TLSx509secretUUID) < 0) \ goto cleanup; \ - if (!cfg->val## TLSx509secretUUID && \ + /* Only if a *tls_x509_cert_dir wasn't found (e.g. rv == 0), should \ + * we copy the defaultTLSx509secretUUID.
