Creating a Build Forge user for API programs

Create a user on the Management Console for programs to use to authenticate.

Create a user for API programs to use for logging into the Management Console. Log in to test the user to verify that it works.

Each time a program accesses the console, it must authenticate itself to the console with user credentials.

After authentication, a session ID is generated for the user session and stored in the database. If the program uses the same login as an existing user, that user session closes.

Only one thread or process can use the user credentials. If another thread or process attempts to use the same user credentials to establish a session, it causes the original session to be terminated.

Note: Do not use a user provided by LDAP/Active Directory authentication. Create the user in the Management Console.
