virAuth: Don't require virConnectPtr to retrieve authentication creds
Previously a connection object was required to retrieve the auth credentials. This patch adds the option to call the retrieval functions only using the connection URI or path to the configuration file. This will allow to use this toolkit to request passwords for ssh authentication in the libssh2 connection driver. Changes: *virAuthGetConfigFilePathURI(): use URI to retrieve the config file path *virAuthGetCredential(): Remove the need to propagate conn object virAuthGetPasswordPath(): *virAuthGetUsernamePath(): New functions, that use config file path instead of conn object
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.

Description

virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
