HI, i am trying to use sudo user to access xen server remotely. As its documented, libvirtd can be accessed only through root user or users from libvirtd usergroup.

is there any tweak or possibility to access libvirt remotely through sudo user? or by using certificate?

code snippet:


#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys
import libvirt

conn = libvirt.open('xen+ssh://sudo_user@xen_server')  <== Trying to establish connection to the remote xen using sudo user.
if conn == None:
    print('Failed to open connection to xen+ssh:xen_server')
    exit(1)

host = conn.getHostname()
print('Hostname:'+host)

conn.close()
exit(0)
