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.

    admin: Fix default uri config option name s/admin_uri_default/uri_default
    
    The original name 'admin_uri_default' was introduced to our code by commit
    dbecb87f. However, at that time we already had a separate config file for
    admin library but the commit mentioned above didn't properly adjust the
    config's option name. The result is that when we're loading the config, we
    check a non-existent config option (there's not much to do with the URIs
    anyway, since we only allow local connection). Additionally, virt-admin's man
    page documents, that the default URI can be altered by setting
    admin_uri_default option. So the fix proposed by this patch leaves the
    libvirt-admin.conf as is and adjusts the naming in the code as well as in the
    virt-admin's man page.

Reproduce this bug with libvirt-2.0.0-5.el7.x86_64
1.Set uri_default = "aaaaa" in libvirt-admin.conf:
# vim /etc/libvirt/libvirt-admin.conf
uri_default = "aaaaa"

2.# virt-admin "connect;uri"
Connected to the admin server

libvirtd:///system


Verify this bug with libvirt-2.0.0-6.el7.x86_64

For root user:
1.Set uri_default = "aaaaa" in libvirt-admin.conf:
# vim /etc/libvirt/libvirt-admin.conf
uri_default = "aaaaa"

2.# virt-admin connect
error: Failed to connect to the admin server
error: unsupported configuration: Unsupported URI scheme '<null>'

3.Keep default setting or set uri_default="libvirtd:///system" in libvirt-admin.conf, and do connect:
# virt-admin "connect;uri"
Connected to the admin server

libvirtd:///system


For session mode:
1.Login with a non-root user, set uri_default = "aaaaa" in libvirt-admin.conf
$ vim /home/test/.config/libvirt/libvirt-admin.conf
uri_default = "aaaaa"

2.$ virt-admin connect
error: Failed to connect to the admin server
error: unsupported configuration: Unsupported URI scheme '<null>'

3.Keep default setting or set uri_default="libvirtd:///session" in libvirt-admin.conf, and do connect:
$ virt-admin "connect;uri"
Connected to the admin server

libvirtd:///session

Since the result is as expected, mark this bug as verified.
