3.1.4.1 Login

  • Article

The Login operation logs a user onto a web application by using the user’s logon name and password. For the operation to succeed, the protocol server MUST use forms authentication and the logon name and password that is provided by the protocol client MUST be valid. If the operation succeeds, a ticket for the specified user is created and it is attached to a cookie collection that is associated with the outgoing response. A redirect to the HTML login form is not performed.

 <wsdl:operation name="Login">
     <wsdl:input message="tns:LoginSoapIn" />
     <wsdl:output message="tns:LoginSoapOut" />
 </wsdl:operation>

The protocol client sends a LoginSoapIn request WSDL message and the protocol server responds with a LoginSoapOut response WSDL message, as specified in section 3.1.4.1.1.2.
