[libvirt-users] qemu+ssh authentication

[Tomáš Golembiovský]

Hi,

AFAIK this is problem of ssh transport in libvirt. It does not use
the callback mechanism for authentication. The code you want would work
with libssh2 transport (i.e. 'qemu+libssh2://...'), unfortunately
libssh2 is not enabled in RHEL.

Cheers,

    Tomas
