libvirt users - Nov 2013 - Help required in simulating libvirt TLS server

Hi All,

Will some one explain how is this tls libvirt server is implemented. For my
testing purpose I need to implement the similar TLS server in Java or
Python and this server is capable to receive all libvirt calls like
getCapabilities, hostname etc and return response as I'm configured.
Basically I need to simulate the libvirt TLS server. I tried creating many
TLS server but none of the my TLS server implemenation is capable to do
proper handshake with python libvirt client and do successful calls. Any
ideas or help will be appreciable.

Thanks In Advance,
Arun V

I think the advice you were given last time is still accurate:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvirt-users/2013-September/msg00086.html

You are probably going to be better off hooking your simulations into
the existing test:/// URI driver than trying to write your own RPC
client counterparts, as the existing code will handle tls on your behalf.

I really strongly recommend against trying to re-implement the libvirt
RPC protocol again. The protocol is pretty complex & easy to screw up.
We consider it a private implementation detail of libvirt and we won't
support use of libvirt client against any 3rd party server impl or vica
verca.
