tls is the default network connection mode of libvirtd upstream, though we use tcp mode as default. tls requires necessary keys and certificates of certificate authority, server and client to be properly generated and deployed. Otherwise servers and clients cannot be connected. This patch, - integrates sample keys and certificats of certificate authority, server and client for users to be able to use tls mode out of box. - sets default server IP address to 127.0.0.1 for users to use local client out of box. - integrates certtool and provides gnutls-help.py for users to generate keys and certificates on targets in their own ways. - adds a PACKAGECONFIG option "gnutls" to control all of the above integration but disables it to keep the same default behavior as before.

libvirt default connection mode between client(where for example virsh runs) and server(where libvirtd runs) is tls which requires keys and certificates for certificate authority, client and server to be properly generated and deployed. Otherwise, servers and clients cannot be connected.
recipes-extended/libvirt/libvirt/gnutls-help.py is provided to help generate required keys and certificates.
Usage: gnutls-help.py [-a|--ca-info] <ca.info> [-b|--server-info] <server.info> [-c|--client-info] <client.info> If ca.info or server.info or client.info is not provided, a corresponding sample file will be generated.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !! "ip_address" field of server.info must be IP address of the server. !! !!

Please deploy cacert.pem to CA and server and client /etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem Please deploy serverkey.pem to server /etc/pki/libvirt/private/serverkey.pem Please deploy servercert.pem to server /etc/pki/libvirt/servercert.pem Please deploy clientkey.pem to client /etc/pki/libvirt/private/clientkey.pem Please deploy clientcert.pem to client /etc/pki/libvirt/clientcert.pem"
