Exchange email/password for a session token.

POST
/v1/iam/login
Code sample: Shell / cURL
curl --request POST \
--url https://stratum.example.com/v1/iam/login \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{ "email": "hello@example.com", "password": "example", "mfaCode": "example" }'

When the account still has its install-time password, the login succeeds with passwordChangeRequired: true and a restricted session (see Session). Choose a new password first. after a node MFA recovery the login succeeds with mfaEnrollmentRequired: true and a session restricted to enrolling a new TOTP (see Session).

mfaCode

TOTP or one-time recovery code. Required only for accounts with MFA enabled — omit it and the login returns 401 with code MFA_REQUIRED so the client knows to prompt..

mfaEnabled

Whether the user has an active TOTP MFA enrollment..

boolean
passwordChangeRequired

. Present (true) on the login response and GET /v1/iam/me while the user still has the install-time password.

boolean
mfaEnrollmentRequired

. Present (true) on the login response and GET /v1/iam/me while a TOTP enrollment is owed after a node MFA recovery.

boolean
passwordChangeRequired

. The user still has the install-time password (a one-time credential). Until POST /v1/iam/users/{userId}/password sets a new one, this session may only call GET /v1/iam/me, POST /v1/iam/logout and that endpoint; everything else answers 403 PASSWORD_CHANGE_REQUIRED.

boolean
mfaEnrollmentRequired

. A node recovery (stratum-bootstrap recover admin-mfa) removed the user’s TOTP. Until a new one is enrolled and verified (POST /v1/iam/users/{userId}/mfa/totp/enroll, then .../verify), this session may only call those two, GET /v1/iam/me and POST /v1/iam/logout; everything else answers 403 MFA_ENROLLMENT_REQUIRED. When a password change is owed too, it comes first.

boolean

Example

{
"user": {
"state": "pending"
}
}

Bad request.
