Ohh... ok... it's not really what I want (because I could have many
different machines to configure).
Reading to libvirt sources (the c file) it seams that auth callbacks
should be used also for the ssh code (inside openSSHSession method):
virConnectCredential creds[] = {
{VIR_CRED_PASSPHRASE, "password", "Password", NULL, NULL,
0},
};
if (!auth || !auth->cb) {
PHYP_ERROR(conn, VIR_ERR_AUTH_FAILED,
"%s", _("No authentication callback provided."));
goto disconnect;
}
maybe in some way it's possible to use ssh too with auth (I don't know
but I want to try).
Anyway, Matt, if I expose libvirt over tcp can I use it directly with
provided callbacks?
Thanks a lot
Bye
Marco
