I installed Webvirtcloud on Debian Jessie (8.10) and Debian Stretch (9)
Error:
Error: authentication failed: no agent is available to authenticate
Details:
After installation was successfully i logged with admin:admin my first Web gui login.
I got the following error
"Error: authentication failed: no agent is available to authenticate "
or
" Error: authentication unavailable: no polkit agent available to authenticate action 'org.libvirt.unix.manage' "
Solution (maybe dirty):
I modified the /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf and set the auth_unix_rw on none
vim /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf
<<
auth_unix_rw = "none"
service libvirtd restart
And everything works nice now.
Background info about auth_unix_rw:
Set an authentication scheme for UNIX read-write sockets By default socket permissions only allow root. If PolicyKit support was compiled into libvirt, the default will be to use 'polkit' auth. If the unix_sock_rw_perms are changed you may wish to enable an authentication mechanism here
