If your broker has the credentials of the user then you can connect to
the API using those credentials, and invoke the "logon" operation,
something like this:
---8<---
#!/bin/sh -ex
curl \
--verbose \
--cacert /the/path/to/the/ca/cert \
--request POST \
--user "myuser at mydomain:mypassword" \
--header "Content-Type: application/xml" \
--header "Accept: application/xml" \
--data '
<action/>
' \
"https://engine.example.com/ovirt-engine/api/vms/myvm/login"
