Authenticate a User

Authenticate a user with a business glossary that is hosted by the Analyst Service. Use the POST /bg.auth/login URI to authenticate a user.

In this example, the user is defined in the Informatica domain.

Make an HTTP POST request to the /bg.auth/login URI:

http://FQHN:8085/analyst/bg.auth/login

{
	"user": "user name",
	"password": "password",
	"namespace" : "Native"
}

The Analyst Service authenticates the user against the business glossary and provides the following response:

{"message":"You have been successfully authenticated."}

The Analyst Service returns the JSESSIONID cookie which you can use to make further transactions.

The Analyst Service provides the following response in case of an authentication failure:

{"error":"The login information is not valid."}
