Establish a Connection with the VMware Storage Policy Server

Use the session cookie from the
vCenter Server
session to establish the Storage Policy session. The session cookie represents the authenticated
vCenter Server
session, which is based on the SSO token.
The following code fragments establish connections both with the
vCenter Server
and the Storage Policy Server. These examples are based on the
BasicConnection
sample, which is located in the Storage Policy SDK connection sample directory.
SDK/spbm/java/JAXWS/samples/com/vmware/spbm/connection/BasicConnection.java
The
BasicConnection
sample uses an instance of the
LoginByTokenSample
class. See vCenter LoginByToken Example. The
LoginByToken
example saves the HTTP cookie produced during the intial connection sequence and then restores the cookie after the
vCenter Server
connection has been established. Although the
LoginByToken
example creates a
vCenter Server
connection, the
BasicConnection
sample establishes its own connection with the
vCenter Server
. A different implementation might integrate those capabilities to reduce the number of
vCenter Server
connections.
