Re: vCenter Converter API with Ruby

Login expects the session manager. Here is a snippet of C# code for illustration:

            ManagedObjectReference morServiceInstance = new ManagedObjectReference();

            morServiceInstance.type = "ConverterServiceInstance";

            morServiceInstance.Value = "ServiceInstance";

            _converterService = new ConverterService();

            _converterService.Url = serverUrl;

            _converterService.CookieContainer = new System.Net.CookieContainer();

            ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback =

               new RemoteCertificateValidationCallback(RemoteCertificateValidation);

            _converterServerContent = (ConverterServerContent)_converterService.ConverterRetrieveServiceContent(morServiceInstance);

            _userSession = _converterService.ConverterLogin(_converterServerContent.sessionManager, username, password, null);

However this example uses generated stub classes, I don't know how it looks in XML as a SOAP request.
