Yep libvirt supports a config file for credentials
http://libvirt.org/auth.html#Auth_client_config
For vmware esx IIRC you would create
$HOME/.config/libvirt/auth.conf
containing
[credentials-prod]
username=fred
password=123456
[auth-esx-test1.example.com]
credentials=prod
[auth-esx-test2.example.com]
credentials=prod
[auth-esx-test3.example.com]
credentials=prod
Regards,
Daniel
