Re: [Xen-devel] Is it possible to access XenStore remotely?

Hi VIncent,

Yes, I'm considering adding a TCP socket for xenstored. 

Since xen apis can be called remotely, there's no reason to prevent accessing xenstore in the same way.

thanks,
Weiming

Hi,

Is it possible to read/write the xenstore from another physical machine?

I know it uses Unix socket. So it looks hard to access it remotely, isn't it?

Hi weiming,

whilst it's not possible at the moment and certainly a bad idea security wise, make xenstored listen on a tcp socket along with the unix socket is very easy.

cheers,
