[virt-tools-list] Debugging TLS connection between virt-viewer and libvirt running on separate hosts

[Will Dennis]

Hi all,

I'm running libvirt 1.0.4 on one host (Ubuntu 12.04), and
virt-manager/virt-viewer on another (FC18), and using TLS to secure the
comm's between the hosts. I was able to get virt-manager to connect the
the hypervisor host via qemu+tls method, but virt-viewer will not
connect (either invoked from the "Show the graphical console" option on
virt-manager's VM window, or by invoking virt-viewer directly.) Both
fail with a generic error (virt-manager's view console says "viewer
connection to hypervisor host got refused or disconnected") but does not
give a more explicit error. I did a tcpdump, and the trace does show the
client machine connecting to TCP port 16514 on the hypervisor host,
which is owned by the libvirtd daemon. From what I can see in the
packets from that dump, it looks like the endpoints are exchanging
certificate info, but of course the session is encrypted, so can't
really see what else is going on... Is there a way someone can give me
to debug the communications for either the client or server side?
(There's nothing being written to logs as far as I can see.)

Thanks,

Will
