This call authenticates a user using a set of CA EEM credentials, a certificate, or a session ID.
Because you can include authentication information in any API call URL, you do not need a separate login call in most cases. The login call is most useful for returning a Session ID, which can then be used to authenticate another call, such as getReportViewer.
The arguments used for this call are as follows:
Defines the valid CA User Activity Reporting Module user name for authentication.
Defines the certificate name for authentication, if you have registered the product you want to access CA User Activity Reporting Module.
Defines either the CA User Activity Reporting Module user password, or the certificate password for authentication, depending on which method you have used for authentication.
Defines the session ID from an existing authenticated session, which you can use to authenticate a new session.
