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 Jiri Belka 2014-10-17 15:09:56 UTC
Description of problem:
it would be nice if qemu would support TLS for chardev sockets, so connection to VM's serial port via network would be encrypted. this should be possible for both client and server modes. spice option supports tls so code could be re-used probably.

there should be also optional possibility to define password for such connection (like for spice).

why? access to VM's serial console without ssh to host itself.
client mode could be used to "attach" consoles to central console server.

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


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. make chardev socket to be connected via encrypted mode
2.
3.

Actual results:
not possible

Expected results:
should be possible

i suppose this would also need libvirt part when this is accepted.

Comment 3 Amit Shah 2016-06-06 10:02:51 UTC
This support was added to QEMU 2.6 via this commit

I'll just mark this bug a dup of 1300773 since it has more info, and test cases.
