[Engine-devel] Improvement for the oVirt java sdk

[Michael Pasternak]

Hi Christopher,

In general SDK abstracts the transport layer, therefore all authentication
internals hidden from the user,

i.e SESSION based authentication happens implicitly (by default), when you
initiate SDK entry point,

the story is different if you want using SSO-like login by reusing JSESSIONID
from the REST-API for instance, and i can support such scenario,

but, is this your case?
