Login APIs

Request Headers

X-Forwarded-For [String] Optional

The IP address of a client requesting authentication. If the IP address is provided it will be stored for login history of the user. It is generally preferred to specify the IP address in the request body. If it is not provided in the request body this header value will be used if available, the request body value will take precedence.

X-FusionAuth-TenantId [String] Optional

The unique Id of the tenant used to scope this API request.

The tenant Id is not required on this request even when more than one tenant has been configured because the tenant can be identified based upon the request parameters or it is otherwise not required.

Specify a tenant Id on this request when you want to ensure the request is scoped to a specific tenant. The tenant Id may be provided through this header or by using a tenant locked API key to achieve the same result.

See Making an API request using a Tenant Id for additional information.

Request Cookies

fusionauth.trust [String] Optional

The Multi-Factor Trust identifier returned by the Multi-Factor Login API response. This value be may be provided to bypass the Multi-Factor challenge when a User has Multi-Factor enabled. When this cookie exists on the request it will take precedence over the twoFactorTrustId if provided in the request body.

Request Body

applicationId [UUID] Optional

The Id of the Application the user is to be logged into. This parameter is optional but there is not likely a production use case where you want to omit the value. If this parameter is omitted the user will still be authenticated but a login count will not be recorded for an Application.

Because a refresh token is per user and per application, when this parameter is not provided a refresh token will not be returned.

You likely want the user being logged in to be registered for this application. If that user isn’t, the call will succeed, the response body will be different, no refresh token will be issued, and you’ll receive a 202 HTTP status.

See the difference between authentication and authorization for more detail.

ipAddress [String] Optional

The IP address of the end-user that is logging into FusionAuth. If this value is omitted FusionAuth will attempt to obtain the IP address of the client, the value will be that of the X-Forwarded-For header if provided or the last proxy that sent the request. The IP address will be stored in the User login history.

loginId [String] Required

The login identifier of the user. The login identifier can be either the email or the username.

metaData.device.description [String] Optional

A human readable description of the device used. This meta data is used to describe the refresh token that may be generated for this request.

metaData.device.name [String] Optional

A human readable name of the device used. This meta data is used to describe the refresh token that may be generated for this request.

metaData.device.type [String] Optional

The type of device used. The following types may be specified:

• BROWSER

• DESKTOP

• LAPTOP

• MOBILE

• OTHER

• SERVER

• TABLET

• TV

• UNKNOWN

This meta data is used to describe the refresh token that may be generated for this request.

noJWT [Boolean] Optional defaults to false

When this value is set to true a JWT will not be issued as part of this request. The response body will not contain the token or refreshToken fields, and the access_token and refresh_token cookies will not be written to the HTTP response.

This optional parameter may be helpful when performing high volume authentication requests and the JWT is not being utilized, in this scenario removing the additional latency required to issue and sign the JWT may have a measurable cumulative effect on performance.

password [String] Required

The user’s password or an Application specific Authentication Token.

twoFactorTrustId [String] Optional

The Multi-Factor Trust identifier returned by the Multi-Factor Login API response. This value be may be provided to bypass the Multi-Factor challenge when a User has Multi-Factor enabled.

{
  "loginId": "example@fusionauth.io",
  "password": "password",
  "applicationId": "10000000-0000-0002-0000-000000000001",
  "noJWT" : false,
  "ipAddress": "192.168.1.42"
}

Response Body

refreshToken [String]

The refresh token that can be used to obtain a new access token once the provided one has expired.

Because a refresh token is per user and per application, this value will only be returned when an applicationId was provided on the login request and the user is registered to the application.

Response Cookies

access_token [String]

The encoded access token. This cookie is written in the response as an HTTP Only session cookie.

refresh_token [String]

The refresh token. This cookie is written in the response as an HTTP only persistent cookie. The cookie expiration is configured in the JWT configuration for the application or the global JWT configuration.

Request Headers

X-Forwarded-For [String] Optional

The IP address of a client requesting authentication. If the IP address is provided it will be stored for login history of the user. It is generally preferred to specify the IP address in the request body. If it is not provided in the request body, this header value will be used if available. If provided in both places, the request body value takes precedence.

X-FusionAuth-TenantId [String] Optional

The unique Id of the tenant used to scope this API request.

The tenant Id is not required on this request even when more than one tenant has been configured because the tenant can be identified based upon the request parameters or it is otherwise not required.

Specify a tenant Id on this request when you want to ensure the request is scoped to a specific tenant. The tenant Id may be provided through this header or by using a tenant locked API key to achieve the same result.

See Making an API request using a Tenant Id for additional information.

Request Body

applicationId [UUID] Optional

The Id of the Application the user is to be logged into. This parameter is optional but there is not likely a production use case where you want to omit the value. If this parameter is omitted the user will still be authenticated but a login count will not be recorded for an Application.

Because a refresh token is per user and per application, when this parameter is not provided a refresh token will not be returned.

You likely want the user being logged in to be registered for this application. If that user isn’t, the call will succeed, the response body will be different, no refresh token will be issued, and you’ll receive a 202 HTTP status.

See the difference between authentication and authorization for more detail.

code [String] Required

The Multi-Factor verification code. This may also be a recovery code.

ipAddress [String] Optional

The IP address of the end-user that is logging into FusionAuth. If this value is omitted FusionAuth will attempt to obtain the IP address of the client, the value will be that of the X-Forwarded-For header if provided or the last proxy that sent the request. The IP address will be stored in the User login history.

metaData.device.description [String] Optional

A human readable description of the device used. This meta data is used to describe the refresh token that may be generated for this request.

metaData.device.name [String] Optional

A human readable name of the device used. This meta data is used to describe the refresh token that may be generated for this request.

metaData.device.type [String] Optional

The type of device used. The following types may be specified:

• BROWSER

• DESKTOP

• LAPTOP

• MOBILE

• OTHER

• SERVER

• TABLET

• TV

• UNKNOWN

This meta data is used to describe the refresh token that may be generated for this request.

noJWT [Boolean] Optional defaults to false

When this value is set to true a JWT will not be issued as part of this request. The response body will not contain the token field, and the access_token and refresh_token cookies will not be written to the HTTP response.

trustComputer [Boolean] Optional defaults to false

When this value is set to true the response will contain a Multi-Factor Trust identifier. This can be used on subsequent Login requests to allow the Multi-Factor challenge to be bypassed.

twoFactorId [String] Required

An Id generated and returned in the response body during the initial authentication attempt.

The default duration of this identifier is 5 minutes. This means that you have 5 minutes to complete the request to this API after calling the Login API. Once the identifier has expired you will need to call the Login API again to restart the process.

This duration can be modified using the Tenant API or in the FusionAuth UI.

{
  "applicationId": "10000000-0000-0002-0000-000000000001",

  "twoFactorId": "YkQY5Gsyo4RlfmDciBGRmvfj3RmatUqrbjoIZ19fmw4"
}

Response Body

refreshToken [String]

The refresh token that can be used to obtain a new access token once the provided one has expired.

Because a refresh token is per user and per application, this value will only be returned when an applicationId was provided on the login request and the user is registered to the application.

You must explicitly allow generation of refresh tokens when using the Login API. Configure the application.loginConfiguration.generateRefreshTokens setting via the API or enable the setting by navigating to the Application → My Application → Security tab.

refreshTokenId [String] Available since 1.37.0

When the refreshToken is returned in the response, this field will also be returned. This unique Id is the persistent identifier for this refresh token, and will not change even when using one-time use refresh tokens. This value may optionally be used to revoke the token using the Refresh Token API.

state [Object] Available since 1.26.0

If authenticated using Two Factor and state was provided during the Two Factor Start request this value will be returned exactly as it was provided.

trustToken [String] Available since 1.33.0
