If you compile a client --without-polkit, and connect to a URI that needs polkit auth, the connection will fail with: $ ./tools/virsh --connect qemu+ssh://crobinso@machine/system error: failed to connect to the hypervisor error: authentication failed: unsupported authentication type 2 This is because the client side portion of the polkit handling is compiled out. However, nothing polkit specific is actually required of the client. Fix that error by unconditionally compiling the basic polkit client handling. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=635529
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.
