| # If you want to use the non-TLS socket, then you *must* include | 
 | # the GSSAPI or DIGEST-MD5 mechanisms, because they are the only | 
 | # ones that can offer session encryption as well as authentication. | 
 | # | 
 | # If you're only using TLS, then you can turn on any mechanisms | 
 | # you like for authentication, because TLS provides the encryption |

 | # Before you can use GSSAPI, you need a service principle on the |

 | #mech_list: gssapi | 
 | # | 
 | # You can also list many mechanisms at once, then the user can choose | 
 | # by adding  '?auth=sasl.gssapi' to their libvirt URI, eg | 
 | #   qemu+tcp://hostname/system?auth=sasl.gssapi | 
 | #mech_list: digest-md5 gssapi |
