[libvirt] [PATCH RFCv2 1/5] libssh2_transport: add main libssh2 transport implementation

Peter Krempa pkrempa at redhat.com
Tue Jan 3 23:47:37 UTC 2012


This patch adds helper functions to libssh2 that enable us to use
libssh2 in conjunction with libvirt-native virNetSocket-s instead of
using a spawned "ssh" client process.

This implemetation supports tunneled plaintext, keyboard-interactive,
private key, ssh agent based and null authentication. Libvirt's Auth
callback is used for interaction with the user. (Keyboar interactive
authentication, adding of host keys, private key passphrases). This
enables seamless integration into the application using libvirt, as no
helpers as "ssh-askpass" are needed.

Reading and writing of OpenSSH style "knownHosts" files is supported.

Communication is done using SSH exec channel, where the user may specify
arbitrary command to be executed on the remote side and reads and writes
to/from stdin/out are sent through the ssh channel. Usage of stderr is
not supported (by this code).

As a bonus, this should (untested) add SSH support to libvirt clients
running on Windows.

TODO:
- add default paths for private key and known hosts file on unix systems

* configure.ac: Add checking for correct version and version dependent
                define
* po/POTFILES.in: Add to translation.
* src/Makefile.am: specify paths to new files
* src/rpc/virnetlibsshcontext.c: Helpers for keeping ssh session context
* src/rpc/virnetlibsshcontext.h: headers for above
