Hi all, I want to use libvirtd and polkit to create simple access restricitions for incoming TLS connections. libvirtd.conf:

... auth_tls = "sasl" access_drivers = [ "polkit" ] ...

tls_no_verify_certificate = 1 SASL and TLS in combination is already working without any faults. After activating access_drivers, the setup breaks, cause the access is denied. without polkit:

[root@inexor-test ~]# virsh --connect qemu+tls://vm0.host.b3be.de/system Please enter your authentication name: inexor@vm0 Please enter your password:  Welcome to virsh, the virtualization interactive terminal. ...

with polkit:

[root@inexor-test ~]# virsh --connect qemu+tls://vm0.host.b3be.de/system Please enter your authentication name: inexor@vm0 Please enter your password:  error: failed to connect to the hypervisor error: access denied

I deactivated any self-written polkit-rules and had been able to track down the problem to communication with libvirtd and polkit (via pkttyagent). For every incoming connection, libvirtd logs this:

Jan 04 15:12:41 vm0 libvirtd[17075]: Unable to verify TLS peer: No certificate was found. Jan 04 15:12:41 vm0 libvirtd[17075]: Certificate check failed Unable to verify TLS peer: No certificate was found. Jan 04 15:12:45 vm0 libvirtd[17075]: internal error: No UNIX process ID available Jan 04 15:12:45 vm0 libvirtd[17075]: access denied Jan 04 15:12:45 vm0 libvirtd[17075]: access denied Jan 04 15:12:45 vm0 libvirtd[17075]: Cannot recv data: Input/output error Jan 04 15:12:47 vm0 libvirtd[17075]: Unable to verify TLS peer: No certificate was found.

Jan 04 15:28:29 vm0 polkitd[2670]: Registered Authentication Agent for unix-

Jan 04 15:28:30 vm0 polkitd[2670]: Unregistered Authentication Agent for unix-

Additionally, what I found: After every libvirtd-restart the unit polkit.service loggs an Registered and directly after an Unregsitered Auth Agent. process:17225:3691193 (system bus name :1.97 [/usr/bin/pkttyagent --notify-fd 4 --fallback], object path /org/freedesktop/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale C) process:17225:3691193 (system bus name :1.97, object path /org/freedesktop/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale C) (disconnected from bus) (Correct! In the first second it registers and shortly it unregisteres again) Could someone please provide me a hint how to make libvirtd and polkit talk to each other? Sincerely, Bene polkit-version: 0.113 libvirt-version: 1.3.0 Running on Archlinux (init: systemd)
