authentication failed: authentication failed Under "Overview" of host

[lfreijo]

I get the following error in a red (pink) box when I click on my host:

authentication failed: authentication failed

I get the following errors in /var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log

2013-08-05 04:25:16.308+0000: 1550: error : virNetSASLSessionServerStep:578 : authentication failed: Failed to start SASL negotiation: -20 (SASL(-13): user not found: unable to canonify user and get auxprops) 2013-08-05 04:25:16.308+0000: 1550: error : remoteDispatchAuthSaslStep:2749 : authentication failed: authentication failed 2013-08-05 04:25:16.309+0000: 1546: error : virNetSocketReadWire:1323 : End of file while reading data: Input/output error

Any idea what I can do to fix this?

What linux distro?

Sounds like you didn't create your user from this command --> "sudo saslpasswd2 -a libvirt username"

@retspen Ubuntu Server 13.04 amd64
@baggar11 I agree, however I did:

freijo@home-server:~$ sudo sasldblistusers2 -f /etc/libvirt/passwd.db
freijo@home-server: userPassword


[retspen]

Try input user with domain freijo@home-server

This works! Thank you.
