Where/how do I do this? man pages have no suggestions on virt-v2v. I have a
user/passwd combo in saslauth that works for virsh.
virt-v2v -i libvirtxml -o libvirt -os export --vmtype server -n ovirtmgmt

This is really a libvirt question, to which I don't know the answer.
Complex libvirt authentication (such as SASL) may ask the user a
series of questions, such as username and password. Are you running
virt-v2v interactively at a terminal?
