this affects any UI plugin that utilizes the rest-api-session *generated by the ui-plugins infrastructure* outside the context of the client/browser; I.e., plugins that send the ui-plugins-infra-generated-rest-api-session-id to some (3rd party) server-side (which is not aware of the client's browser/ web-admin status at all) that performs communication with the engine's rest- api based on that rest-api-session-id. > Will they need to change anything or is this change more a behaviour change > only? for the plugins that I mentioned above: assuming these plugins would like retain their functionality and have their server-side perform communication with the engine's rest-api regardless of the current status of the client's browser/web-admin (active/logged-in/logged-out/...), they will need to change their code to obtain their own rest-api-session (to be used by the server- side), rather than rely on the rest-api-session that was obtained by the ui- plugins infrastructure for them; the latter should be used *only* for the plugin's *client*-side communication with the engine's rest-api. if these plugins will not change their code as described above - these plugins' server-side communication with the engine's rest-api will break upon web-admin logout (which may be an acceptable 'breakage' for some plugins - this is really up to each ui-plugin author to make this decision). all other plugins (i.e. plugins that use the ui-plugins-infra-generated-rest- api-session only within the client context, plugins that don't use this rest- api-session at all, etc.) can remain as-is - they will not be affected. > > > > Yaniv > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Vojtech Szocs" <vsz...@redhat.com> > > To: "Alon Bar-Lev" <alo...@redhat.com> > > Cc: devel@ovirt.org > > Sent: Tuesday, December 2, 2014 7:12:21 PM > > Subject: Re: [ovirt-devel] Important change in UI plugins REST API > > integration > > > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > > From: "Alon Bar-Lev" <alo...@redhat.com> > > > To: "Sven Kieske" <s.kie...@mittwald.de> > > > Cc: devel@ovirt.org > > > Sent: Tuesday, December 2, 2014 9:43:18 AM > > > Subject: Re: [ovirt-devel] Important change in UI plugins REST API > > > integration > > > > > > > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > > > From: "Sven Kieske" <s.kie...@mittwald.de> > > > > To: devel@ovirt.org > > > > Sent: Tuesday, December 2, 2014 10:41:00 AM > > > > Subject: Re: [ovirt-devel] Important change in UI plugins REST API > > > > integration > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > On 01/12/14 20:26, Vojtech Szocs wrote: > > > > > In other words, usability of REST session ID is now strictly > > > > > scoped to GUI user being authenticated.
