/api/auth

Authenticates against the ARDI server to allow elevated function execution.

Note that you must call this function before calling any other ARDI function other than /api/connect when the server is not in guest mode.

Note that this documentation covers the traditional version (passing a username and password) to authenticate with ARDI. If you want to use 3rd party sign-in services or interactive login (where the username and password is not shared with the host application), please see the interactive method.

The return value is an XML or JSON file that returns an authcode. This code is included with all future API requests as part of Signing Your Requests.
