Re: [libvirt-users] libvirt with sasl shadow backend

Hi list, i have a problem with virt-manager authentication over tcp. I tried it with virt-manager over non-TLS "TCP (SASL/Kerberos)" auth. and the sasl mechanism "shadow". The user (tested with unprivileged user and root) is allready in the group libvirt(d) and the process is running as root. The result on host: Jan 18 21:05:31 host libvirtd: 21:05:31.620: error : remoteDispatchAuthSaslStep:3691 : sasl step failed -20 (SASL(-13): user not found: no secret in database) on client (virt-manager gui): ... ('virtConnectOpenAuth() faild') .. I have tested it with tool "testsaslauthd" and their result: e.g.: # testsaslauthd -u root -p root 0: OK "Success." When i set it manually with saslpasswd: # saslpasswd2 -a libvirt root -p it works. Although I use, in the configuration of sasl, shadow, libvirt does not use it (i think so). Host: debian6.0.3 (squeez) libvirt 0.8.3 (deb) sasl2.1.23 (deb) :-) Best regards, Robyn
