Are there any plans to add support for the default authentication method of
the server?

Authentication



In order to perform any useful operation the driver needs to log into the
Hyper-V server. Therefore, only virConnectOpenAuth can be used to connect
to an Hyper-V server, virConnectOpen and virConnectOpenReadOnly don't work.
To log into an Hyper-V server the driver will request credentials using the
callback passed to the virConnectOpenAuth function. The driver passes the
hostname as challenge parameter to the callback.



Note: Currently only Basic authentication is supported by libvirt. This
method is disabled by default on the Hyper-V server and can be enabled via
the WinRM commandline tool.
