a ticket for VNC or spice session?
Ticket is used to gain admission to access VNC or spice session.
An expire time for ticket, when expire, ticket is not validated.
Or one ticket is just for one time access.
Only the user with VM operation permission can get the ticket.
For UI, the VM connection action, first get the ticket and then connect
the VNC or Spice.
