Hi,
I wrote a C program running in a KVM host.
Part of it adds a Unix Channel device in all Guests in order to have a dialog from Host
to Guest.
As long as my host wasn't part of an Ovirt cluster , all was running fine.
I added my host in a ovirt cluster , and then , when running the script creating the
channel device ( by using "virsh attach-device --persistent -live ....." ) ,
I got following error :
Please enter your authentication name:
Please enter your password:
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
error: no valid connection
error: authentication failed: Failed to step SASL negotiation: -1 (SASL(-1): generic
failure: All-whitespace username.)
What's the user/password I've to use then ?
When you attach a compute node to oVirt, it sets up auth with libvirt
to prevent admins from connecting to libvirt. If you want to oiverride
that you need to create yourself a SASL user + password using the
saslpasswd2 command eg see
http://libvirt.org/auth.html#ACL_server_username
