Great if I'm able to avoid prompting the user.

Thanks a lot.

Yes it is. You basically need just to pass a callback that will supply credentials to libvirt. Does not matter how it gets it. You may want to read documentation:

http://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt-host.html#virConnectOpenAuth

or see the code for examples.
