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 FuXiangChun 2011-12-07 10:04:44 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #760881 +++

Description of problem:
boot guest with -vnc :1 option, but kvm can still change vnc password. if use vncview to connect guest, vnc password is invalid.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# rpm -qa|grep kvm
kvm-83-246.el5
# uname -r
2.6.18-300.el5

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1./usr/libexec/qemu-kvm  -M rhel5.6.0 -m 4096 -smp
4,cores=2,threads=1,sockets=2 -cpu qemu64,vendor="AuthenticAMD",+sse2 -soundhw
all -name win7 -usbdevice tablet -rtc-td-hack -uuid
123465d2-2032-848d-bda0-de7adb149048 -boot c -drive
file=/home/rhel6.2.z-64.qcow2,if=virtio,boot=on,bus=0,unit=0,format=qcow2,cache=none,boot=on,werror=stop
-net nic,macaddr=54:52:00:27:12:23,vlan=0,model=virtio -net
tap,vlan=0,script=/etc/qemu-ifup -serial pty -parallel none -usb -balloon none
-monitor stdio -vnc :1

2.set any password
(qemu) change vnc password

3.use vncview to connect des guest 
  vncviewer 10.66.9.97:5901
  
Actual results:
vncview don't need password 

Expected results:
kvm disable to change vnc password

Additional info:
Comment 1 Gerd Hoffmann 2011-12-12 10:03:35 UTC 
So you expect the change password command (step #2) fail because password authentication isn't enabled.  Correct?
Comment 2 FuXiangChun 2012-01-06 02:25:45 UTC
