login
The login service request is an http request message sent to the UMS in accordance with the Simple Messaging API or the XML Messaging API.

The login service request must conform to the following criteria:

Required field/attribute values | Optional field/attribute values
service=login | transacted=false (by default)
| user=guest (by default)
| password=guest (by default)

Notes:
A successful login service request result in the creation of a UMS client session.

If the transacted field/attribute is present and its value is set to true, a transacted client session is created and a new transaction is started. A transaction is completed after a successful commit or rollback service request. A new transaction is started whenever a transaction is completed.

If the transacted field/attribute is set to false or is not present, a non-transacted client session is created.

Service response message: login_reply
