Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.

A login session with the vSphere API might expire after some idle time.
The esxVI_EnsureSession function uses the SessionIsActive function to
check if the current session has expired and a relogin needs to be done.
But the SessionIsActive function needs the Sessions.ValidateSession
privilege that is considered as an admin level privilege.
Only vCenter actually provides the SessionIsActive function. This results
in requiring an admin level privilege even for read-only operations on
a vCenter server.
ESX and VMware Server don't provide the SessionIsActive function and
the code already works around that. Use the same workaround for vCenter
again.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
