<p>The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Session</span></tt> class allows API clients to manage session tokens including

<ul class="simple">
<li>The <a class="reference internal" href="#com.vmware.cis_client.Session.create" title="com.vmware.cis_client.Session.create"><tt class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">Session.create()</span></tt></a> method creates session token in exchange for

authentication process for API clients. For example, the sequence of steps
for establishing a session with SAML token is:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Connect to lookup service.</li>
<li>Discover the secure token service (STS) endpoint URL.</li>
<li>Connect to the secure token service to obtain a SAML token.</li>
<li>Authenticate to the lookup service using the obtained SAML token.</li>
<li>Discover the API endpoint URL from lookup service.</li>
<li>Call the <a class="reference internal" href="#com.vmware.cis_client.Session.create" title="com.vmware.cis_client.Session.create"><tt class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">Session.create()</span></tt></a> method.

must include the SAML token.</li>
</ul>
<p>See the programming guide and samples for additional information about
establishing API sessions.</p>
<blockquote>
<div><strong>Execution Context and Security Context</strong></div></blockquote>
<p>To use session based authentication a client should supply the session
token obtained through the <a class="reference internal" href="#com.vmware.cis_client.Session.create" title="com.vmware.cis_client.Session.create"><tt class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">Session.create()</span></tt></a> method. The client should
add the session token in the security context when using SDK classes.
Clients using the REST API should supply the session token as a HTTP
header.</p>
<blockquote>
<div><strong>Session Lifetime</strong></div></blockquote>
<p>A session begins with call to the <a class="reference internal" href="#com.vmware.cis_client.Session.create" title="com.vmware.cis_client.Session.create"><tt class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">Session.create()</span></tt></a> method to exchange
a SAML token for a API session token. A session ends under the following
circumstances:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Call to the <a class="reference internal" href="#com.vmware.cis_client.Session.delete" title="com.vmware.cis_client.Session.delete"><tt class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">Session.delete()</span></tt></a> method.</li>
<li>The session expires. Session expiration may be caused by one of the
following situations:</li>
<li>Client inactivity - For a particular session identified by client
requests that specify the associated session ID, the lapsed time since the
last request exceeds the maximum interval between requests.</li>
<li>Unconditional or absolute session expiration time: At the beginning of
the session, the session logic uses the SAML token and the system
configuration to calculate absolute expiration time.</li>
</ul>
<p>When a session ends, the authentication logic will reject any subsequent
client requests that specify that session. Any operations in progress will
continue to completion.</p>

model.</p>
<p>A <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">LibraryModel</span></tt> is a container for a set of items which represent a
usable set of files. The Content Library Service allows for multiple
libraries to be created with separate authorization and sharing policies.</p>

Each item
is a logical object in a library, which may have multiple files.</p>
<p>A <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">LibraryModel</span></tt> may be local or subscribed. A local library has its
source of truth about items within this Content Library Service. Items may
be added to or removed from the library. A local library may also be
private or published. When published, the library is exposed by a network
endpoint and can be used by another Content Library Service for
synchronization. A private local library cannot be used for
synchronization.</p>
<p>A subscribed library is a library which gets its source of truth from
another library that may be across a network in another Content Library
Service. A subscribed library may have a different name and metadata from
the library to which it subscribes, but the set of library items is always
the same as those in the source library. Library items cannot be manually
added to a subscribed library &#8211; they can only be added by adding new items
to the source library.</p>

items with a type that is supported by a plugin, the Content Library
Service may understand the files which are part of the library item and can
produce metadata for the item.</p>
<p>In other cases, uploads may require a process in which one upload implies
subsequent uploads. For example, an Open Virtualization Format (OVF)
package is composed of an OVF descriptor file and the associated virtual
disk files. Uploading an OVF descriptor can enable the Content Library
Service to understand that the complete OVF package requires additional
disk files, and it can set up the transfers for the disks automatically by
adding the file entries for the disks when the OVF descriptor is uploaded.</p>
<p>When a type is not supported by a plugin, or the type is not specified, the
Content Library Service can handle a library item in a default way, without
adding metadata to the item or guiding the upload process.</p>
