It's not possible to use password-protected ssh keys directly with
libvirt because libvirt doesn't have any way to prompt a user for the
password. To accomodate password-protected key files, an administrator
can add these keys to an ssh agent and then configure the domain with
the path to the ssh-agent socket.
Note that this requires an administrator or management app to
configure the ssh-agent with an appropriate socket path and add the
necessary keys to it. In addition, it does not currently work with
selinux enabled. The ssh-agent socket would need a label that libvirt
would be allowed to access rather than unconfined_t.
