Binary package hint: virt-viewer
I'm on an up-to-date Intrepid x86_64 and have version 0.0.3-2ubuntu1 of virt-viewer installed.
I've set up a remote server (QEMU) with the following options:
vnc_listen = "0.0.0.0"
vnc_tls = 1
vnc_tls_x509_verify = 1
When I start a VM and try to connect using the following command:
$ virt-viewer -c qemu://example.com/system testimage
I get the following output:
libvir: Remote error : Cannot access client key '/etc/pki/libvirt/private/clientkey.pem': No such file or directory (2)
unable to connect to libvirt qemu://example.com/system
According to the docs I should be able to install a CA and client key/cert on a per-user basis in ~/.pki/ as ca-cert.pem, clientkey.pem and clientcert.pem respectively. The current version of virt-viewer doesn't seem to support that. I did an strace and it doesn't even look there for keys. In the following case I had a system-wide cacert installed and a user-specific key/cert installed in ~/.pki/
