Authenticate/Login to Server
Submits an authentication request (using credentials) to the PlanetPress Connect server and if
successful provides access to the various other REST API services available.
Request takes no content, but requires an additional Authorization header which contains a
base64 encoded set of credentials (basic user name & password). On success, the response
with return an authorization token which can then be used as an additional auth_token header
in any future requests made to the REST API services.
Warning
If server security settings are enabled and a request is made to any resource of any
service in the REST API, if that request contains no authorization token and no
Authorization header, then the response will come back as Unauthorized and will contain
an additional WWW-Authenticate response header.
