I have no Java example at hand but you can look at the examples/python/esxlist.py Python script for an example how to provide an authentication callback. Also see the ConnectAuth and ConnectAuthDefault classes in the Java bindings.

I tried to modify the python esx script to provide authentication (without asking to user) and it doesn't work!! Any other idea?

Reading to libvirt sources (the c file) it seams that auth callbacks should be used also for the ssh code (inside openSSHSession method): virConnectCredential creds[] = {            {VIR_CRED_PASSPHRASE, "password", "Password", NULL, NULL, 0},        };        if (!auth || !auth->cb) {            PHYP_ERROR(conn, VIR_ERR_AUTH_FAILED,                       "%s", _("No authentication callback provided."));            goto disconnect;        } maybe in some way it's possible to use ssh too with auth (I don't know but I want to try). Anyway, Matt, if I expose libvirt over tcp can I use it directly with provided callbacks? Thanks a lot Bye Marco

Hello guys, I've created a plugin for Hudson (CI) to manage virtmachines using libvirt java (start vm for a build and stop just after). I've just a problem in authentication, in fact I cannot send uname and password using code, libvirt ask me for the credentials on CLI. someone could explain me How I can use authentican or where I can find an usage guide or example? Thanks a lot Bye Marco
