Description Daniel Berrangé 2009-05-07 11:19:25 UTC 
Description of problem:

$ virt-viewer -c qemu+tcp://somehost/system rhel5xen
libvir: Remote error : Failed to start SASL negotiation: -4 (SASL(-4): no mechanism available: No worthy mechs found)
unable to connect to libvirt qemu+tcp://somehost/system

Looking at the code it just calls virConnectOpenReadonly() and thus does not provide any authentication callback. This prevents connection using SASL+Digest-MD5

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.0.3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Config libvirtd to use SASL+Digest-MD5
2. virt-viewer -c qemu+tcp://somehost/system SOMEGUEST
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
libvir: Remote error : Failed to start SASL negotiation: -4 (SASL(-4): no mechanism available: No worthy mechs found)

Expected results:
Prompts for username+password, and then connects to VNC
