Info on Foreman/libvirt/Satellite

Martin_Juhl · November 25, 2015, 12:49pm

Hi guys… I know that this is not exactly the right forum… but I need
some information on the libvirt implementation in foreman, on the foreman
used in Satellite6 (1.7+)…
to me it seems like Satellite/Foreman is using the "old" api command
"virConnectOpen"… when trying to connect to a libvirt based Compute
Resource… and not the new "virConnectOpenAuth", which is needed for
authentication…
This might have been fixed in newer versions of foreman… but I just need
to figure out in which piece of code this is located… so I can change it…
Anyone able to help me out??

Regards
Martin

the current upstream (in fog) [1] that uses the ruby binding uses
Libvirt::open_auth
which is using virConnectOpenAuth - see [2].

the same method is also used in older versions of fog/foreman/satellite
(e.g. see [3])

Hope this helps,
