Description
Is there any way I can login to vcenter using SSO token ? vmware_soap_session and not using username and password ?
We can login using token in https://github.com/vmware/govmomi but could not find a way to do in python library.
Any help is highly appreciated.

Research direction
Compare the token-based login approach referenced in govmomi with pyvmomi's existing authentication flow. Trace the relevant pyvmomi entry points and determine whether SSO-token login can be supported; done means the supported behavior and required changes are clear, with verification against vCenter.
