Authenticate a user
POST {{baseUrl}}/api/auth/login
Authenticate a user and create an HTTP session on the web server where the user’s MicroStrategy sessions are stored. This request returns an authorization token (X-MSTR-AuthToken) which will be submitted with subsequent requests. The body of the request contains the information needed to create the session. The loginMode parameter in the body specifies the authentication mode to use. You can authenticate with one of the following authentication modes: Standard (1), Anonymous (8), or LDAP (16). Authentication modes can be enabled through the System Administration REST APIs, if they are supported by the deployment. If you are not able to authenticate using any of the authentication modes, please contact your administrator to determine current support or currently enabled authentication modes.
