Hitha,

Currently, connecting to a CIMOM using session ID or ticket is not supported in Open Pegasus. There is connectLocal() which connects to the local CIM Server as the current user.

Subject: Clarification regarding OpenPegasus connect API

Hi,

As part of supporting VMWare's lockdown mode (http://blogs.vmware.com/esxi/2010/09/the-new-lockdown-mode-in-esxi-41.html), we would like to know whether OpenPegasus provides any API that accepts a session ID (or a ticket) instead of username and password to connect to a CIMOM.

Since lockdown mode does not allow login in using the user name/ password and mandates that any CIM client connects using a ticket issued by a managing entity, it is necessary that we have APIs that would support such a mechanism.

Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

Regards,
Hitha V
