[libvirt-users] Sasl authentication

[Anastasiya Ruzhanskaya]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to set up sasl authentication in virt-manager. I read in one
existing bug, that it is better to use tls for encryption and sasl for
authentication, but not use sasl for both.

I configured tls, it was fine. Then I created a user "u" on server and
modified libvirtd.conf.

I set auth_tls = "sasl" there and mech_list: scram-sha-1 in sasl2 config
for libvirt.

The output of sasl:
***@ubuntu2:~$ sudo sasldblistusers2 -f /etc/libvirt/passwd.db
***@ubuntu: userPassword

Then I connect to server using tls and entering as the user u.

Then I have the following message:

Unable to connect to libvirt qemu+tls://***@192.168.246.135/system.

authentication failed: authentication failed

What are the correct steps to set up everything right. I just followed
this: set up tls, set up user, modify config file, relaunch and connect.
