Hi, I'm working on a storage backend for libvirt which needs credentials to access the storage pool. I want to use the build in secret manager from libvirt, but it seems I do not have access to the secretDriver in a storage backend? static int virStorageBackendRBDRefreshPool(virConnectPtr conn ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED, virStoragePoolObjPtr pool) { if (pool->def->source.auth.cephx.secret != NULL) { virSecretPtr secret; secret = conn->secretDriver->lookupByUUID(conn, pool->def->source.auth.cephx.secret); virSecretFree(secret); } return 0; } It goes wrong at this point: conn->secretDriver->lookupByUUID(conn,pool->def->source.auth.cephx.secret); "error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type" Is the secretDriver available in a storage backend? In storage_backend.c I see that it should be available, correct?

Although, in the meantime I found: virSecretPtr secret; secret = virSecretLookupByUUIDString(conn, pool->def->source.auth.cephx.secret); value = virSecretGetValue(secret, &value_size, 0); This also works fine, but what do you recommend?
