Login with Username and Password

Post

/api/v1/login

Although none of the body parameters are required, it's mandatory to include either the user AND password or only the resume parameter.
To authenticate a request, you need to pass the userId and authToken values from this JSON response object as headers in the request. The authToken is passed as X-Auth-Token header, while the userId as X-User-Id header.
If LDAP authentication is enabled, you must maintain the login in the same way as you normally do. Similarly, if 2FA is enabled for an LDAP user, everything stays the same.
