Sorry, let me rephrase the question again: I need define a user /password for sasl but want the authentication at runtime be automatic - no explicit promting the user while accessing a tcp socket with some applications that need authentication (e.g libvirt) I try : saslpasswd2 -c -p -a libvirt <user> and it hangs (if i now press Enter it says : "invalid parameter supplied") . if I avoid the -p flag the above commad works fine and prompts for password and later when using the tcp (virsh -c qemu+tcp:...) it prompts for the above defined user/password and autheticates ok. But I want without the explicit authentication The man pages says : "-p Pipe mode - saslpasswd2 will neither prompt for the password nor verify that it was entered correctly. This is the default when standard input is not a terminal. " In the past (before upgrading of libvirt via rpm) I had the SASL authentication done automatically without prompting the user at runtime (virsh qemu+tcp:///system <command> ) and without need to configure that. Don't know how to restore it . Any help ? thanks Zvi Dubitzky Email:dubi@il.ibm.com libvirt-users-bounces@redhat.com wrote on 26/03/2011 18:00:08:

I need define a user /password for sasl but want that to do the verification automatically no -promting ( or even maybe avoid the verification) while using a tcp socket with some applications that need authentication (e.g
libvirt)
so I try : saslpasswd2 -c -p -a libvirt <user>
and it hangs (if i now press Enter it says : "invalid parameter supplied") . if I avoid the -p flag the above commad works fine and prompts for password and later when using the tc p (virsh -c qemu+tcp:...) it prompts for the above defined user/password and autheticates ok . But I want without the prompting
The man pages says -p Pipe mode - saslpasswd2 will neither prompt for the password nor verify that it was entered correctly. This is the default when standard input is not a terminal.
In the past (before some upgrading of libvirt via rpm) the SASL authentication was done automatically no need for prompting Don't know how to restore it .
Any help ?
thanks
