Users can now log in to virtual machines via the REST API. This allows users to log in and connect to virtual machines via the REST API, which it seems was not possible before because users had no way to authenticate with the virtual machine. This should involve writing a new topic for the Technical Guide showing the syntax for logging in to a virtual machine. This syntax is already available in the PRD bug.

Is this enough information for users? Topic 40908 in the Admin Guide has more information in procedure, though doesn't mention the need to start the service, but didn't want to deep-link to a second guide for such a trivial thing. Best alternative would be to include the procedure (1. repo for RHEL 6+repo for RHEL 7 2. Install packages 3. start service) in the description.)) *Revision History [34616] - Updated ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NVR: Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization-Technical_Guide-3.5-web-en-US-3.5-27.el6eng
Changes appear as listed; no errors found. Re: the new topic: it is my opinion that what's written there is enough information, as it's talking about pretty basic stuff. VERIFIED
