RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
setup tls environment and connect libvirt use qemu+tls failed, get the error: "Unable to initialize certificate".
BTW, with libvirt-0.9.4-2.el6.x86_64, there's no problem.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-0.9.4-5.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.setup tls environment
  enable LIBVIRTD_ARGS="--listen" in /etc/sysconfig/libvirtd and enable "listen_tls" in /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf, then setup certification both on server and client host.
2. restart libvirtd
3. on client host, connect server host via qemu+tls
   #virsh -c qemu+tls://$server_ip/system
  
Actual results:
#virsh -c qemu+tls://$server_ip/system
error: Unable to initialize certificate
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor

Expected results:
connect successfully

Moving back to assigned until this additional upstream patch has a commit id, since otherwise the testsuite breaks.
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-August/msg01237.html

Fix command test wrt gnutls initialize & fix debugging

The VIR_TEST_DEBUG and VIR_TEST_VERBOSE env vars did not work
because we replaced 'environ' with 'newenv'. Simply calling
virTestGetDebug/Verbose() before replacing the 'environ' ensures
we have processed the env variables.

The gnutls initialization code opens /dev/urandom and keeps that
FD around for later use. We have code which kills off FDs 3-5
to avoid interfereing with our test case. Move the virInitialize
call before this point, so it kills off the gnutls /dev/urandom
FD which is irrelevant for testing purposes

* tests/commandtest.c: Fix test debugging & make it robust against
  opened FDs

"listen_tls" in /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf, then setup certification both on
server and client host.
2. restart libvirtd
3. on client host, connect server host via qemu+tls
