I am using oVirt Java SDK 3.4.2 to connect to RHEV-M environment. The code
being used is

org.ovirt.engine.sdk.Api api = new
Api("https://HOST:PORT/api","USER","PASSWORD",
true);

The response from the server to this call is


*oVirt API error <html><head><title>JBoss Web/7.2.2.Final-redhat-1 -

The documentation talks about the 401 error when the request doesn't
contain "Authorization" header.

Even when i access https://HOST:PORT/api , i am prompted to login, but the
credentials used to login to
https://HOST:PORT/webadmin/webadmin/WebAdmin.html don't work. So if i login
to webadmin console first, then since the "Authorization" header is set,
access to /api is now possible in the browser.

I need help here specifically for making the Java SDK work with RHeVM
server.
