Attribute |
Value Type |

string |
The username of the user. |
|
string |
The user’s password. |
If the credentials are valid, a redirect response will be returned, pointing to the value of the original_url cookie sent with the original request, or / if this cookie wasn’t present.
If the user cannot be authenticated because the username or password are incorrect then a redirect response will be returned, pointing to the value of the Referer header in the request.
The response will be a 400 error if either attribute is missing or a value is of an invalid type.
