[libvirt-users] libvirt-users Digest, Vol 15, Issue 25

[Zvi Dubitzky]

Sorry, let me rephrase the question again:

I need define a user /password for sasl but want the authentication at 
runtime 
 be automatic - no explicit promting the user while accessing a tcp socket 

 with some applications that need authentication (e.g  libvirt)
 
  I try :   saslpasswd2 -c -p  -a libvirt <user> 

  and it hangs (if i  now press  Enter it says :  "invalid parameter 
  supplied") . if I avoid the -p flag  the above commad works fine and 
  prompts for password  and later when using the tcp (virsh -c 
  qemu+tcp:...) it prompts for the above defined user/password and 
  autheticates ok.

  But I want without the explicit authentication 



 The  man pages says :
 "-p  Pipe mode - saslpasswd2 will neither prompt for the password nor 
 verify that it was entered correctly. This is the default when standard 
 input is not a terminal. "



 In the past (before  upgrading of libvirt via rpm) I had the SASL 
 authentication  done automatically without prompting the user at runtime 
 (virsh qemu+tcp:///system <command> ) and without need to configure that.
 
 Don't know how to restore it .
 
 Any help ? 
 
 thanks
