Re: [Xen-devel] PATCH: 4/4: XenD config for VNC TLS protocol

["Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This patch adds support to XenD for configuring the previously added TLS 
encryption
and x509 certificate validation. At this time I have only enabled this config to
be done system-wide via /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp. Since it requires the admin 
to 
add certificates on the local FS, there's not much point in making it per VM. 
The
x509 certificates are located in /etc/xen/vnc. Since this requires a special
VNC client program (GTK-VNC, virt-viewer/virt-manager or VeNCrypt viewer) the
use of TLS is disabled by default. Admins can enable it if they are using a 
suitable
client.
