[libvirt-users] Libvirt access control drivers

[Anastasiya Ruzhanskaya]

Hello!
Excuse me for renewing this discussion.
You mentioned that you can't send identity information over the remote
channel in libvirt.
In virt-manager, which directly uses libvirt remote functionality, there
are such fields (attached, "username").
What they are used for? Are they used somehow in the sent packets?
