Hi Team,

We have three components in our setup

1) Our Script (application using python)

2) Ovirt

3) LDAP (Also integrated to oVirt)

1) Our Python application is authenticating to LDAP and it creates a token for our application

2) For accessing the API's in oVIrt, I need to contact to the oVirt API which authenticates and creates a token for it

3) then I need to maintain the token of my application with its mapping to the ovirt tokenId in my application. 

When I want to hit any oVirt API, First I perform the token check in my application (using my application token) then I need to perform the ovirt token check in oVirt. 

1) I would like to know Is there a way to skip the authentication and authorization in oVIrt?

2) Or Is it possible to point the authentication check for oVirt (to my application / to some URL which I configure) which always return true and allow for all oVirt API's?

I did some analysis and verified the oVirt code in github, Identified that it is going via a fliter in web.xml which points to the class, Is it possible to tune this?
