Description

http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/index.jsp#com.vmware.wssdk.apiref.doc_50/vim.vm.guest.TicketedSessionAuthentication.html

The example may look like this :

auth = vim.vm.guest.TicketedSessionAuthentication(ticket=base_64_string)
guest_auth = si.content.guestOperationsManager.authManager.AcquireCredentialsInGuest(vm=vm, requestedAuth=auth)
    processes = si.content.guestOperationsManager.processManager.ListProcessesInGuest(vm=vm, auth=guest_auth)
    si.content.guestOperationsManager.authManager.ReleaseCredentialsInGuest(vm=vm, auth=guest_auth)

I am not able to proceed forward ! AcquireCredentialsInGuest is returning error "The guest operating system does not support the operation"

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the vSphere API documentation for TicketedSessionAuthentication and AcquireCredentialsInGuest. Check if the guest OS supports guest operations. Provide a minimal working example in a new sample file.
