Created attachment 351011 [details] Remote connection Description of problem: I have a remote connection in my Virtual Machine Manager, and it's disconnected. When I want to connect it, I must input the password of the remote Virtual Machine Manager. There are some vms in remote virtual machine and their status are Shutoff. But, When I right-click a vm and run it, I am required to input password again. It's unsuitable. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL5.4-Server-x86_64(2.6.18-156.el5xen) # rpm -qa | grep -E "libvirt |virt-manager|xen" libvirt-python-0.6.3-14.el5 libvirt-devel-0.6.3-14.el5 libvirt-0.6.3-14.el5 virt-manager-0.6.1-6.el5 xen-3.0.3-88.el5 libvirt-debuginfo-0.6.3-14.el5 xen-devel-3.0.3-88.el5 libvirt-cim-0.5.5-2.el5 virt-manager-debuginfo-0.6.1-6.el5 libvirt-debuginfo-0.6.3-14.el5 kernel-xen-2.6.18-156.el5 libvirt-0.6.3-14.el5 xen-libs-3.0.3-88.el5 xen-libs-3.0.3-88.el5 xen-devel-3.0.3-88.el5 kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-156.el5 libvirt-devel-0.6.3-14.el5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Add a remote connection, and ensure there're at least one vm in the remote connection 2.Make the vm in the remote connection to be shutoff 3.Make the remote connection's status to be disconnection 4.connect the remote connection. 5.Run the vm in the remote connection Actual results: After step4, a window pops up, requesting a password. After step5, the window pops up again, requesting a password for the second times. Expected results:- After step4, you need input the password of the remote connection. After step5, the vm will run successfully without any password input request. Additional info:
Thanks for the report. I assume you are using an SSH connection? If so, this is NOTABUG. We can't cache the user's SSH password to prevent the prompt from popping up multiple times. The only supportable solution is to SSH keys, or some other auth that can handle this like SASL. Using plain SSH without keys is fine for testing, but not recommended for production use.
