The 'x509verify' parameter is documented as taking a path to the x509 certificates, ie the same syntax as the 'x509' parameter.
commit 4db14629c38611061fc19ec6927405923de84f08 Author: Gerd Hoffmann <kra...@redhat.com> Date: Tue Sep 16 12:33:03 2014 +0200 vnc: switch to QemuOpts, allow multiple servers caused a regression by turning 'x509verify' into a boolean parameter instead. This breaks setup from libvirt and is not consistent with the docs. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
