==========================================================================================

This is an example for how to authenticate against the SOAP API


Step 1 - Authenticate to the SOAP API via /auth
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* URL: https://10.0.1.240:443/auth
* HTTP Method: GET
* Elapsed Time: 0:00:00.268788
* `Step 1 Request Body <../../_static/soap_outputs/6.5.314.4301/basic_api_authentication_step_1_request.txt>`_
* `Step 1 Response Body <../../_static/soap_outputs/6.5.314.4301/basic_api_authentication_step_1_response.txt>`_

* Request Headers:

.. code-block:: json
    :linenos:

    
    {
      "Accept": "*/*", 
      "Accept-Encoding": "gzip, deflate", 
      "Connection": "keep-alive", 
      "User-Agent": "python-requests/2.7.0 CPython/2.7.10 Darwin/14.5.0", 
      "password": "VGFuaXVtMjAxNSE=", 
      "username": "QWRtaW5pc3RyYXRvcg=="
    }

* Response Headers:

.. code-block:: json
    :linenos:

    
    {
      "connection": "keep-alive", 
      "content-length": "134", 
      "content-type": "text/plain; charset=us-ascii"
    }


Step 2 - Get the server version via /info.json

* URL: https://10.0.1.240:443/info.json
* HTTP Method: GET
* Elapsed Time: 0:00:00.043694
* `Step 2 Request Body <../../_static/soap_outputs/6.5.314.4301/basic_api_authentication_step_2_request.txt>`_
* `Step 2 Response Body <../../_static/soap_outputs/6.5.314.4301/basic_api_authentication_step_2_response.json>`_

* Request Headers:

.. code-block:: json
    :linenos:

    
    {
      "Accept": "*/*", 
      "Accept-Encoding": "gzip, deflate", 
      "Connection": "keep-alive", 
      "User-Agent": "python-requests/2.7.0 CPython/2.7.10 Darwin/14.5.0", 
      "session": "1-607-4ee03e3500179ebb0e13b0a7fa723076479968c2bdd0556160e8973b1f7836e3fc6904187f022cf0e42591f6694489d48085138a841cb660ecc047bb0551bdfd"
    }

* Response Headers:

.. code-block:: json
    :linenos:

    
    {
      "connection": "keep-alive", 
      "content-length": "19289",
