LoginPortal.login: User login (DEPRECATED).

In sciserver/SciScript-R: Package for accessing SciServer tools.

Description

DEPRECATED. Use Authentication.login instead.

Logs the user into SciServer and returns the LoginPortal token. This function is useful when SciScript-R library methods are executed outside the SciServer-Compute environment. In this case, the session LoginPortal token does not exist (and therefore can't be automatically recognized), so the user has to use LoginPortal.login in order to log into SciServer manually and get the LoginPortal token. LoginPortal.login also sets the token value in the Sys environment variable "sciservertoken" and as the variable Authentication.token.

Usage

LoginPortal.login(UserName, Password)

Arguments

UserName	name of the user.
Password	password of the user.

Value

Returns the LoginPortal token (string). Throws an exception if the HTTP request to the LoginPortal URL returns an error.
