There is no easy way to test authentication against libvirt. This
commit modifies the test driver to allow simple username/password
authentication.
You modify the test XML by adding:
<node>
...
<auth>
<user password="123456">rich</user>
<user>jane</user>
</auth>
</node>
If there are any /node/auth/user elements, then authentication is
required by the test driver (if none are present, then the test driver
will work as before and not require authentication).
In the example above, two phony users are added:
rich password: 123456
jane no password required
The test driver will demand a username. If the password attribute is
present (or if the username entered is wrong), then the password is
also asked for and checked:
$ virsh -c test://$(pwd)/testnode.xml list
Enter username for localhost: rich
Enter rich's password for localhost: ***

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.
