Documentation for virConnectOpenAuth is a bit light at the moment. I found: http://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt.html#virConnectOpenAuth http://libvirt.org/auth.html

This is the most serious omission from the documentation: http://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt.html#virConnectAuthCallbackPtr

virConnectAuthPtrDefault is a default implementation of the callback that you should use for command-line tools. It's used in virsh.c. It's not documented at all, but the source for it (in libvirt.c) does give a little bit of guidance.

Anyway, as long as there isn't some font of documentation for this call which I've missed, I'll have a go at writing some while I write the OCaml binding.

There's probably only the descriptions in the mailing list discussions at the time we designed the API. Let me know if there's any Q's I can answer. The virt-manager source gives an alternate illustration of how to use the auth method from a GUI app Dan. -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, Boston -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://ovirt.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :|
