-First, configure the libvirt daemon. This is done by editing the ''/etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf'' file. Fix the default CA certificate path by editing the ''ca-file'' option:  
-<code> 
-ca_file = "/etc/ssl/certs/cacert.org.pem" 
-</code> 
- 
-If you want to manage virtual machines as a regular user, uncomment the following options:  
-<code> 
-unix_sock_group = "libvirt" 
-unix_sock_ro_perms = "0777" 
-unix_sock_rw_perms = "0770" 
-</code> 
-This will assume a group ''libvirt''. Create this new group and add your user to it, or use a different group.
