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? ср, 9 мая 2018 г. в 11:27, Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange@redhat.com>:

Ok, excuse me for misunderstanding, how it is possible then to set up access control when I use remote connection to KVM ( not in UNIX domain)? Is there any way within libvirt, maybe based on authentication or certificates?
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 :-(
