[ovirt-users] starting VDSM gives "libvir: XML-RPC error : authentication failed: authentication failed" error

[Jorick Astrego]

Good day,

Trying to setup a new 3.5 test environment with centos 6.5 as ovirt node.

But I keep getting these errors:

libvir: XML-RPC error : authentication failed: authentication failed
libvir: XML-RPC error : authentication failed: authentication failed
libvir: XML-RPC error : authentication failed: authentication failed
libvir: XML-RPC error : authentication failed: authentication failed
libvir: XML-RPC error : authentication failed: authentication failed
libvir: XML-RPC error : authentication failed: authentication failed

I tried adding the node through ovirt engine interface and the manual 
instrutions on the wiki 
(http://wiki.ovirt.org/Installing_ovirt-node_from_rpm)

Running "service vdsm reconfigure" tells me everything is ok.

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,
