2. Authenticate a User

The Login API is used authenticate a user in FusionAuth.

2.1. Request

Authenticate a User.

URI

POST /api/login

Table 1. 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.

Table 2. Request Body
applicationId [UUID] Optional	The Id of the Application the user is to be logged into. If this parameter is omitted the user will still be authenticated but a login count will not be recorded for an Application.
device [String] Optional	The unique device identifier for this request. This value should be unique to the device and the same device Id should be sent on subsequent requests for the same device. Using this parameter will indicate you wish to receive a refresh token on the response. The refresh token will be written on the HTTP response as an HTTP only persistent cookie named `refresh_token`, and also be provided in the JSON response body.
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 represented by the `device` parameter.
metaData.device.lastAccessedAddress [String] Optional	The IP address of this login request.
metaData.device.name [String] Optional	A human readable name of the device represented by the `device` parameter.
metaData.device.type [String] Optional	The type of device represented by the `device` parameter. The following types may be specified: `BROWSER` `DESKTOP` `LAPTOP` `MOBILE` `OTHER` `SERVER` `TABLET` `TV` `UNKNOWN`
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. 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] Required	The Two Factor Trust identifier returned by the Two Factor Login API response. This value be may be provided to bypass the Two Factor challenge when a User has Two Factor enabled.

Sends a ping to FusionAuth indicating that the user was automatically logged into an application. When using FusionAuth’s SSO or your own, you should call this if the user is already logged in centrally, but accesses an application where they no longer have a session. This helps correctly track login counts, times and helps with reporting.
