Description of problem: If host has password protected VNC, when opening VNC password input is requested. This really shouldn't be the case, because virt-manager can easily discover password from host configuration. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Create host with password protected VNC. Don't store VNC password in keyring Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open VNC connection 2. 3. Actual results: virt-manager asks for a password Expected results: virt-manager uses password in configuration to automatically connect to password protected VNC session Additional info:
That's an interesting idea, thanks for the suggestion. It won't work in all cases though. vnc password could be from SASL or libvirt/qemu.conf which will not be reflected in the XML. So in theory keyring support is still valid. But we could pre-populate the UI from the XML if password is in plaintext. I wouldn't want to autologin because users would probably complain that password isn't working as expected.
We are closing this bugzilla tracker for upstream virt-manager issues and moving to github. I filed your issue there: https://github.com/virt-manager/virt-manager/issues/153
