About this Resource

Excerpt

Defines the Login resource used to login to the SBC REST API. This is the first request that needs to be made before you can access any of the other REST Resources on the SBC.

Info

The user used for the REST sessions must be of the REST access level. This user must be created from the WebUI prior to using the REST API. The REST client must remember cookies that are returned from the SBC and supply those same cookies back to the REST gateway with Cookie: headers on subsequent requests. All requests will be authenticated against that session cookie. If a valid session cookie is not found, the REST client will recieve an HTTP 401 status code in the response.

Note

The REST client cookie session expires after 10 minutes of inactivity
