Hi, AFAIK this is problem of ssh transport in libvirt. It does not use the callback mechanism for authentication. The code you want would work with libssh2 transport (i.e. 'qemu+libssh2://...'), unfortunately libssh2 is not enabled in RHEL.

Hi,

I try to login via the libvirt.openauth() API with qemu+tcp protocol and prompt for password,

I am setting the username, password and the callback methdod with the following keys: auth = [[libvirt.VIR_CRED_AUTHNAME, libvirt.VIR_CRED_PASSPHRASE], request_cred, None]

When I call openauth() method: conn = libvirt.openAuth('qemu+ssh://...', auth, 0)

I am getting prompt for entriyng password. When using qemu+tcp it works fine.

Thank you,

Shahar.
