# Demonstrates some simple working with sessions actions. By common sense
# you should expect that the session is None when you've logged out and
# you will lose the ability to see any session ID. It would be a massive
# security hole to allow people to see these when they were not authenticated
# since the session ID is all you need to spoof another user's login.

# Example output:
# > logged in to vcsa
# > current pyVmomi session id: 523ea3ee-865b-fc7e-3486-bd380c3ab4a2
# > Listing all sessions I can see:
# > session 5205c9e7-8f79-6597-f1d9-e06583cb5089
# > session 523ea3ee-865b-fc7e-3486-bd380c3ab4a2
# > session 52500401-b1e7-bb05-c6b1-05d903d32dcb
# > session 5284cc12-f15c-363a-4455-ae8dbeb8bc3b
# > logout
# > current pyVmomi session: None
