The API is only exposed to a service account which is configured in the 
General Configuration
 Tab. 

To log in, you must perform form authentication to 
Identity Portal
. The following code is an example to use java to perform login to 
Identity Portal
 using org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient.
private void login
(
String username
,
 String password
)
 
throws
 HttpException
,
 IOException
,
 LoginException 
{
 
log
.
debug
(
"Logging into Sigma"
);
 
String loginUrl 
=
 
this
.
sigmaUrl 
+
 
this
.
loginSuffix
;
 
log
.
debug
(
"Login URL is: " 
+
 loginUrl
);
 
PostMethod postMethod 
=
 
new
 PostMethod
(
loginUrl
);
 
NameValuePair
[]
 postData 
=
 
new
 NameValuePair
[
2
];
 
postData
[
0
]
 
=
 
new
 NameValuePair
(
"j_username"
,
 username
);
 
postData
[
1
]
 
=
 
new
 NameValuePair
(
"j_password"
,
 password
);
 
postMethod
.
addParameters
(
postData
);
 
int loginResult 
=
 
this
.
httpclient
.
executeMethod
(
postMethod
);
 
log
.
debug
(
"Login post returned Http Status: [" 
+
 loginResult 
+
 "]"
);
 
if
 
(
loginResult 
!=
 302
)
 
{
 
log
.
error
(
"Error logging into Sigma with username: [" 
+
 username 
+
 "]"
);
 
throw
 
new
 LoginException
(
"Error Logging into Sigma: " 
+
 postMethod
.
getResponseBodyAsString
());
 
  }
 
Header locationHeader 
=
 postMethod
.
getResponseHeader
(
"Location"
);
 
if
 
(!
locationHeader
.
getValue
().
substring
(
locationHeader
.
getValue
().
lastIndexOf
(
"/"
)).
startsWith
(
"/app"
))
 
{
 
log
.
error
(
"Error logging into Sigma with username: [" 
+
 username 
+
 "]"
);
 
throw
 
new
 LoginException
(
"Error Logging into Sigma"
);
 
 }
 
postMethod
.
releaseConnection
();
 
log
.

(
"Login successful"
);
 
}

After the HTTP client is logged in, you can use it to POST method to the APIs exposed.
