This implementation stores the secrets in an unencrypted text file, for simplicity in implementation and debugging. (Symmetric encryption, e.g. using gpgme, will not be difficult to add. Because the TLS private key used by libvirtd is stored unencrypted, encrypting the secrets file does not currently provide much additional security.) * include/libvirt/virterror.h, src/virterror.c (VIR_ERR_NO_SECRET): New error number. * po/POTFILES.in, src/Makefile.am: Add secret_driver. * bootstrap: Use gnulib's base64 module. * src/secret_driver.c, src.secret_driver.h, src/libvirt_private.syms: Add local secret driver. * qemud/qemud.c (qemudInitialize): Use the local secret driver.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
