/v1/api/authentication/token (POST)

Performs a login for the specified user and returns an authentication token.

Before proceeding to retrieve the API access token, you must generate your API key set from your profile page in the DNS Edge UI. For more information, refer to Profile.

Attention: Any API access key set created before activating or deactivating the SSO integration won't be valid in the new SSO state. You must create a new API access key set in the new SSO state to continue to use the DNS Edge API. If you deactivate or activate the SSO integration again, you can use the API access key set that was previously created.
