You want an alternate login screen for which you wrote your own servlet that displays your login screen. 2. You have a UI plugin that needs the rest api credentials to make calls to the REST api. - For 1, A consequence of what you are describing to me, is that you will need to compile and package ovirt with your custom extension yourself. Which may potentially break if we ever make changes to the code. I highly suggest you keep an eye out for the SSO capability we are working on in 3.6. But for now I guess you can do the following, which can and probably will break with each version of ovirt. The source code for the login window in webadmin is in: rontend/webadmin/modules/webadmin/src/main/java/org/ovirt/engine/ui/webadmin/section/login/presenter and view. You can alter it whatever way you want to do your custom stuff. However this requires you to know GWT. If you want to do the servlet approach: look in frontend/webadmin/modules/frontend/src/main/java/org/ovirt/engine/ui/frontend/server/gwt/GenericApiGWTServiceImpl.java at the login and logOff methods. Do something similar to that in your servlet when you submit the form from your servlet. After you login, you can redirect the browser to the webadmin URL, at that point it should recognize you are logged in and show the webadmin while bypassing the original login screen. This will work if you servlet lives in the same context as the webadmin servlet. Again, both of these approached will probably work, but depend on internal code which can and will change over time, so you will have to maintain your code to match. When the SSO capability is fully rolled out you should be able to write your own login screen that doesn't depend on internal structures which will make maintaining that much easier for you. I believe this is scheduled for the 3.6 timeframe. - For 2, in your UI plugin, you need to hook into the RestApiSessionAcquired event. Its use is described here [1]. You can pass the session id in that event as a header to your request to the REST api and that makes the requests succeed. Examples of code that do that are available in the sample UI plugins on that page.
