I can do TLS certificate authentication on a remote libvirt access through 'virsh' ( virsh -c qemu+tls://hostnake/system) . But when I try same auth from my C code linked with libvirt 0.6.1 I get the message : " libvir: Remote error: cannot access CA certificate '/usr/local/etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem . No such file or directory"

My certificate is at /etc/pki/CA as instructed in the web site (deafult) and so is my libvirtd.conf saying. virsh works ok with it . In my case the server and client are on same machine .

I guess the need for SYSCONF_DIR = /usr/local/etc comes from the configure of the libvirt . In fact I see in the configure file the statement : sysconfigdir = '${prefix}/etc .

Any idea how to fix that . I am using the installed libvirt . did not rebuild it .

The online documentation assumes that you've got an OS distributor packaged installation. ie, that it was built with ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var The fact that its looking in /usr/local/etc/pki suggests you've just run the configured script with its default settings. You can either move your certificates to this location, or change the configure arguments during build Regards, Daniel -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, London -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 :|
