Installation

Operations

FormLogin: Performs a login action using the supplied credentials. Returns the response object from the HTTP request.

Credentials

This node only supports login forms that require a username and password. Create a new credential and add these values.

Usage

This node will make an HTTP POST request to the URL supplied via the Authentication URL input, with a url encoded body of the form:

`${usernameKey}=${credentials.username}&${passwordKey}=${credentials.password}`

usernameKey maps to the Username Field input, and passwordKey to Password Field.

Note that the node will not error on any HTTP status codes, so you should check for your self in the node output that the login was successful.
