[ovirt-users] autologin into vm desktop

[Dan Yasny]

You can pass the credentials directly to the guest agent using vdsClient on
the host, among other things:

desktopLock
        <vmId>
        Logoff current user
desktopLogin
        <vmId> <domain> <user> <password>
        Login to vmId desktop using the supplied credentials
desktopLogoff
        <vmId> <force>
        Lock user session. force should be set to true/false

Will probably require key based remote ssh execution, and API calls to the
engine, to determine the host and VM UUID
