HI, i am trying to use sudo user to access xen server remotely. As its documented, libvirtd can be accessed only through root user or users from libvirtd usergroup.
is there any tweak or possibility to access libvirt remotely through sudo user? or by using certificate?
code snippet:


#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys
import libvirt

conn = libvirt.open('xen+ssh://sudo_user@xen_server')  <== Trying to establish connection to the remote xen using sudo user.
if conn == None:
    print('Failed to open connection to xen+ssh:xen_server')
    exit(1)

host = conn.getHostname()
print('Hostname:'+host)

conn.close()
exit(0)

This is a libvirt question. This mailing list's topic is the
development of the Xen hypervisor (https://xenproject.org/developers/te
ams/hypervisor.html)

I am Cc-ing one of the Xen developers that does a lot of libvirt work,
but I really think that you better contact libvirt specific users or
developers mailing lists:
