Re: [Engine-devel] [Spice-devel] SPICE Foreign Menu Using REST

Hi Tomas, Note that in the web-admin, we already have code that generates REST API session-ID; this code is being utilized in the ui-plugins infrastructure to allow the different ui-plugins to communicate with the rest api. [one related file is this context is RestApiSessionManager.java in the web-admin, not sure if there are others] maybe the RestApiSessionManager(?) can somehow be utilized for the SPICE purpose as well (I guess that it will require a couple of code-changes though, and maybe worth moving it to gwt-common, to allow its utilization from the user portal as well?) - @Vojtech would probably know best to advise on this. * Note: Today: (a) a *single* REST API session-ID is generated and used across all ui-plugins in the system (upon user login to the web-admin). (b) this REST-API session-ID is generated based on the *same credentials* with which the user logged into the web-admin. both (a) and (b) will change once [1] will be addressed. Only for the SPICE case in particular - I think that (b) should remain. so maybe worth allowing both same-credentials-login and different-credentials-login in the REST-API-Session-ID-generation code in the GUI. ---- Thanks, Einav [1] Bug 962863 - RFE: Improve REST API integration for UI Plugins https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=962863 some of the planned changes (from the BZ description): """ ... - each UI plugin will have its own dedicated REST API session, unrelated to GUI (admin) user credentials ...
