[libvirt] Decent How-To now on the wiki for setting up Transport Layer Security

Hi all, For anyone that's interested in setting up TLS with libvirt, but hasn't gotten around to it yet, there's a decent guide on the wiki now: http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/TLSSetup It's user focused (ie SysAdmin's), and has lots of pics explaining concepts, plus shows what needs to be done, and shows how to do it. Please note, it doesn't cover SASL, it's just plain host based TLS. Very much open to feedback on it, if people have suggestions for improvement. Hope that helps. :) Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift

Hi Justin, it's very nice! Good work. I like those pictures :) Thank you, for this.

Hi Jaromír, You are completely welcome. :) If there are parts of it that need adjusting for openSUSE, please feel welcome to update it directly, or let me know so I can. :) Something I've missed is information on configuring the firewall ports to allow incoming TLS connections for libvirt. (tcp 16514 inbound) That'll be fixed tomorrow (for Fedora/RHEL). Would you be interested in adding the openSUSE bits for it? Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift
