[libvirt] [PATCH] document authentication with PolicyKit-1
Hi, I just encountered the same problem with the newer PolicyKit as discussed e.g. in this thread: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/virt/2010-June/002081.html I solved it and thought updating the documentation for PolicyKit 1 would be nice. Patch attached. Kind regards, Gerd -- Address (better: trap) for people I really don't want to get mail from: jonas@cactusamerica.com

Is this patch still relevant against the latest sources? If so, would you mind resending it, so we can get it into 0.8.5? -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org

Kind of thinking we may have fixed this already. The PolicyKit documentation has recently been updated, to reflect the new(er) way of doing things with it: http://libvirt.org/auth.html#ACL_server_polkit and http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/SSHPolicyKitSetup Just checked Gerd's patch, and the PolicyKit-0 stuff seems useful, as well as the example (which I haven't tested). Might be useful to incorporate. :)

and
These pages together go more into detail and offer more examples than my patch did.

The PolicyKit-0 stuff was in there before, I just kept it and added PolicyKit-1. I don't think we need the PolicyKit-0 documentation anymore, everyone using current libvirt is most probably also using PolicyKit-1.

As long as the code for pk0 exists, we should keep the corresponding documentation. I don't want to delete the code yet, because it really hasn't been that long since it was in use Daniel -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, London -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://deltacloud.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :|
