Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] doc: switch to modern syntx for VNC TLS setup
Date: Thu,  7 Jun 2018 11:10:19 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180607101019.14958-1-berrange@redhat.com> (raw)

The use of 'tls', 'x509' and 'x509verify' properties is the legacy
backcompat syntx, replaced by use of TLS creds objects.
