Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1317129
[Docs] [Java SDK] authentication via the sessionid is not documented for python/java SDK
Last modified: 2016-05-30 18:58:58 EDT
Description of problem: The documentation does not contain instruction how to use the session id for the available SDKs. This is problematic as event java-docs does not contain some information. Affected docs: Java SDK Guide - Using the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Java SDK Python SDK Guide - Using the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Python SDK Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.6 Additional notes: For example java doc says that the Api constructor can be called in the following way: Api(java.lang.String url, java.lang.String sessionid) but it does not explain what is the format of the sessionid. This is confusing as one would do: sessionid='V7tybi14lt8GrzWoqlGobQnf' but the right way is: sessionid='JSESSIONID=V7tybi14lt8GrzWoqlGobQnf...' So the documentation should include a description of the session id usage and an example of usage.
Taking to work on in conjunction with BZ#1325323.
oVirt 4.0 Alpha has been released, moving to oVirt 4.0 Beta target.
Moving to modified. Tech review being requested in BZ#1325323 alongside the changes in that bug that also touch on the Java SDK.
Moving to ON_QA. Assigning Lucy as the QA contact. Lucy - would you be able to take a look at the changes for this bug? See comment #4 in BZ#1325323 for the details.
Thanks, Andrew. I've reviewed the changes in bug 1325323, and everything looks good to me. Moving to VERIFIED.
