Public bug reported:

Hello,

I am trying to give every VM one my host a different password for the
VNC connections, but this doesn't work.

According to the libvirt documentation this should be possible:
http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsGraphics

"The passwd attribute provides a VNC password in clear text."

A "virsh dumpxml" gives me: <graphics type='vnc' port='5901'
autoport='yes' keymap='en-us'/>

When i output this to a file and manually add the "passwd" attribute it
gets lost when defining the VM again with "virsh define" and no VNC
password is set.

I am aware of the fact that i can set a VNC password in
/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf, but this password is the same for ALL the VM's.

In our envirioment i have different system administrators for each VM so
i need different VNC passwords for the VM's.

Is this possible?

When reading "man kvm-qemu" it is not possible to set a password with
KVM:

"           "password"
Require that password based authentication is used for client connections.  The 
password must be set separately using the "change" command in the pcsys_monitor"

Can somebody clearify this, is setting a VNC per VM possible?
