Hello!
Excuse me for renewing this discussion.
You mentioned that you can't send identity information over the remote
channel in libvirt.
In virt-manager, which directly uses libvirt remote functionality, there
are such fields (attached, "username").
What they are used for? Are they used somehow in the sent packets?

Unfortunately we don't have a solution for fine grained access control
when using remote TCP access. We had a feature request against polkit
to allow passing it identity information such as certificate distinguished
name, but that was rejected :-(
