With the recent update of Fedora rawhide I've noticed virnettlssessiontest and virnettlscontexttest failing with: Our own certificate servercertreq-ctx.pem failed validation against cacertreq-ctx.pem: The certificate uses an insecure algorithm This is result of Fedora changes to support strong crypto [1]. RSA with 1024 bit key is viewed as legacy and thus insecure. Generate a new private key then. Moreover, switch to EC which is not only shorter but also not deprecated that often as RSA. Generated using the following command: openssl genpkey --outform PEM --out privkey.pem \ --algorithm EC --pkeyopt ec_paramgen_curve:P-384 \ --pkeyopt ec_param_enc:named_curve 1: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/StrongCryptoSettings2 Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Daniel P.

Libvirt API for virtualization
==============================
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management
daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the
API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other
languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as
mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the
website:
