[ovirt-users] Using REST API to get a proxyticket

[Gonzalo Rafuls]

Hi Ollie,

I was able to get the proxy ticket with curl like this:

# curl -k -X POST \
-H "Authorization: Basic YWRLKDFLKnfLfdNLDKDFnsldssL2" \
-H "Accept: application/xml" \
-H "Content-Type: application/xml" \
-d
"<action><proxy_ticket><value>ticket_content</value></proxy_ticket></action>"
\
-L https://
{engine}:443/ovirt-engine/api/vms/{vm:id}/graphicsconsoles/{graphicsconsole:id}/proxyticket

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Gonza.-
