Can you confirm that you don't see this problem in 4.0? Open possible workaround is to force a refresh of the backend session sending an external event, like in this example: https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine-sdk/blob/master/sdk/examples/vm_bac... I also think that we need to modify the SDKs so that they detect expired SSO tokens and renew them automatically. I will open another bug for that.
