Hi, I am using libvirt with python binding, and I want to connect to a remote host. I was able to connect after making ssh certificate, but It is not applicable for my project. So I want to use openAuth() method, but I could not succeed connecting to a remote host using it. Here is my code ------------------------ import libvirt USER = "root" PASS = "mypasswd" def authcb(credentials, user_data): for credential in credentials: if credential[0] == libvirt.VIR_CRED_AUTHNAME: credential[4] = USER elif credential[0] == libvirt.VIR_CRED_PASSPHRASE: credential[4] = PASS return 0 auth = [[libvirt.VIR_CRED_AUTHNAME, libvirt.VIR_CRED_PASSPHRASE], authcb, None] conn = libvirt.openAuth("qemu+ssh://192.168.1.21/system", auth, 0) print conn.getHostname() ------------------------------- *If there is something wrong, how am I supposed to use it.* If its not the right place to get libvirt-python related help, from where can I get it.

Regards Sijo

Martin, What do you mean by libvirt credentials...?
