Authenticate/Login to Server
Submits an authentication request (using credentials) to the Connect server and if successful
provides access to the various other REST API services available.
Request takes no content, but requires an additional Authorization header which contains a
base64 encoded set of credentials (username and password). On success, the response will
return an authorization token which can then be used as an additional auth_token header in
any future requests made to the REST API services.
Warning
If server security settings are enabled and a request is made to any resource of any
service in the REST API, if that request contains neither an auth_token header or an
Authorization header, then the response will come back as Unauthorized and will
contain an additional WWW-Authenticate response header.
