描述

We're trying to develop an extension using pyvmomi, and extensions don't log in using username and password, but use the LoginExtensionByCertificate API. However, when we call Connect or SmartConnect, we must provide a username and password for log in... It would be great if the __Login function was called from Connect only if user and pwd were provided, so that it would be optional instead of mandatory. This way we can create a Connection class and then call the API on our own: service_instance.content.sessionManager.LoginExtensionByCertificate

研究方向
Investigate the Connect and SmartConnect functions in pyvmomi (likely in connect.py or similar). Modify the logic to check if user and pwd are provided before calling Login. Ensure the Login method is still called when credentials are given. Test with certificate based login scenarios. Reference the API method LoginExtensionByCertificate mentioned in the issue.
