[libvirt] libvirt-php login issue to ESXi

[Michal Novotny]

Hi Koen,
thanks for you e-mail. I don't know what exactly is going on here but
could you please try to enable debug logging using

libvirt_logfile_set($filename, $maxsize)

API function? The maxsize parameter is optional and it defaults to 1024
KiB (1M). The file have to have write permissions so you can touch the
file, e.g. debug.log and change it's permissions to 777 to allow
logging. Once you try to login using the script you mentioned with debug
set you will get the debug output into the debug.log file which could be
send to us for further analysis.

Thanks,
Michal
