In python, you can use the following code :

        session = XenAPI.Session('https://'+self.xcphost)
        try:
            session.login_with_password(user_xen,password_xen)
        except XenAPI.Failure, error:
            msg,ip = error.details

            if msg == 'HOST_IS_SLAVE':
                xcphost = ip
                session = XenAPI.Session('https://'+xcphost)
                session.login_with_password(user_xen,password_xen)
