Use case — authentication failure
The switch will return an error if authentication fails:
WorkStation# curl --noproxy 10.100.167.104 -X POST http://10.100.167.104:80/rest/v1/login-sessions -d '{"userName":"test", "password":"test"}'
Switch response upon failure:
{ "message": "Authentication failed." }
NOTE:
An operator may only use the GET method. A manager is supported for all methods.
Posting a login request is not required and requests may be sent without a cookie if a user name is not configured.
Other failure causes
1. The wrong username/password is sent to create login sessions.
2. The user is configured and REST requests are sent without session id.
