I need to convert a vmdk to ovirt use. I have a qcow2 formatted image and it's corresponding xml. I'm trying to run virt-v2v to put things into the proper formats/places for ovirt but I need to use my proper credentials to access the qemu:///system space.

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?
