Hi,
I followed the instructions from freeipa.org (
https://www.freeipa.org/page/Libvirt_with_VNC_Consoles) to make libvirt
and VNC use GSSAPI authentication with FreeIPA. The libvirt part works
fine: I'm able to SSO the KVM host using TCP + SASL. However, I'm
unable to get a VNC connection to any guest: both virt-manager and virt
-viewer fail. The former speaks about a "closed or refused connection",
and the latter just closes.
On the KVM host, each VNC login attempt adds the following record to
the systemd journal:
qemu-kvm[3202]: GSSAPI server step 1
On the host, libvirt starts qemu-kvm with a SASL VNC, which seems
correct to me:
# ps -aux | grep qemu-kvm
<snip> -vnc 0.0.0.0:0,sasl <snip>
QEMU may read the VNC keytab
$ ls -l /etc/qemu/
total 4
-rw-------. 1 qemu root 458 30 août 15:48 krb5.tab
Contents of /etc/sasl2/qemu-kvm.conf (comments removed)
mech_list: gssapi
keytab: /etc/qemu/krb5.tab
The client seems to grab correct tickets:
$ klist
Ticket cache: KEYRING:persistent:1215400001:krb_ccache_jjD9A46

KVM Host is Centos 7.2, up to date.
FreeIPA server is Centos 7.2, up to date, with FreeIPA 4.1.0 rev.
18.el7.centos.4
Client is Fedora 22, up to date.
I tried to disable both the firewall and SELinux but it did not change
anything.
Do you have any clues ?
Thanks!
Marin.
