Initializing help system before first use

Authentication

The supported authentication method is Token-based authentication.
Posting a valid username and password to the AuthenticationResource's login operation will return an authorization token. Subsequent requests should include this token in the Authorization HTTP header to link the request to the Xpress Insight session. For example: 
Authorization: Token d09ebcd1-e29f-4acf-8c50-959360deeeb1

Each login with token-based authentication results in a separate Xpress Insight session; hence the same user can have multiple concurrent Xpress Insight sessions.

Logout

It is recommended that you use the AuthenticationResource's logout operation to log out of an Xpress Insight session. Sessions will timeout after 30 minutes of inactivity; however an explicit logout will free up server resources immediately.
