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 of problem:
if vnc uri contains right password, when use remote-viewer to connect guest,should not open input password dialog,if the password wrong,then open it.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-viewer-0.5.2-16.el6.x86_64
libvirt-0.10.2-11.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1:prepare a vnc guest with password

2:check the vnc uri
#virsh domdisplay rhel6.4 --include-password
vnc://:redhat.0.1:1
3: use the uri to connect guest
#remote-viewer vnc://:redhat.0.1:5901

Actual results:
Authentication dialog pop up

Expected results:
the password is correctly, so should not pop up the dialog

Additional info:
spice worked well

We explicitly refuse to support passwords in the URIs in virt-viewer - the fact that it works for SPICE is pure luck. This is very insecure and as a result we will not recommend or document its use.
