From 13661089810d3e59931f3e80d7cb541b99af7071 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Daniel P. Berrange" Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2011 13:31:42 +0100 Subject: Introduce a 'client_add' monitor command accepting an open FD Allow client connections for VNC and socket based character devices to be passed in over the monitor using SCM_RIGHTS. One intended usage scenario is to start QEMU with VNC on a UNIX domain socket. An unprivileged user which cannot access the UNIX domain socket, can then connect to QEMU's VNC server by passing an open FD to libvirt, which passes it onto QEMU. { "execute": "get_fd", "arguments": { "fdname": "myclient" } } { "return": {} } { "execute": "add_client", "arguments": { "protocol": "vnc", "fdname": "myclient", "skipauth": true } } { "return": {} } In this case 'protocol' can be 'vnc' or 'spice', or the name of a character device (eg from -chardev id=XXXX) The 'skipauth' parameter can be used to skip any configured VNC authentication scheme, which is useful if the mgmt layer talking to the monitor has already authenticated the client in another way. * console.h: Define 'vnc_display_add_client' method * monitor.c: Implement 'client_add' command * qemu-char.c, qemu-char.h: Add 'qemu_char_add_client' method * qerror.c, qerror.h: Add QERR_ADD_CLIENT_FAILED * qmp-commands.hx: Declare 'client_add' command * ui/vnc.c: Implement 'vnc_display_add_client' method Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori --- console.h | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'console.h') diff --git a/console.h b/console.h index c09537b861..67d137384e 100644 --- a/console.h +++ b/console.h @@ -372,6 +372,7 @@ void cocoa_display_init(DisplayState *ds, int full_screen); void vnc_display_init(DisplayState *ds); void vnc_display_close(DisplayState *ds); int vnc_display_open(DisplayState *ds, const char *display); +void vnc_display_add_client(DisplayState *ds, int csock, int skipauth); int vnc_display_disable_login(DisplayState *ds); char *vnc_display_local_addr(DisplayState *ds); #ifdef CONFIG_VNC -- cgit v1.2.1
