You have to use virConnectOpenAuth to open a connection and provide an
authentication callback.

I have no Java example at hand but you can look at the
examples/python/esxlist.py Python script for an example how to provide
an authentication callback.

Also see the ConnectAuth and ConnectAuthDefault classes in the Java bindings.
