To Whom It May Concern:

 

The web page http://virt-manager.et.redhat.com/page/RemoteTLS states that:

 

To enable the use of SSL/TLS for VNC, it is neccessary to put the CA & client certificates into $HOME/.pki, providing three files

 

CA/ca-cert.pem - The CA certificate

libvirt-vnc/clientcert.pem - The client certificate signed by the CA

libvirt-vnc/clientkey.pem - The client private key

 

This is incorrect.  The correct path for the private key is:

 

libvirt-vnc/private/clientkey.pem - The client private key

 

Please save someone else the countless hours it took me to determine the proper location.  The virt-manager error messages are not helpful at all with regard to vnc connect errors.

 

Thank you,

 

Rick Lochner
