session api not working

[Harish R]

The below api was working before, but suddenly stopped working. Can any one explain me why it stopped and alternate API or guidelines to implement the same.

https://gani.atlassian.net/rest/auth/1/session

(/rest/auth/1/session)

It is always getting the following error, But the user name and password are correct.

{
"errorMessages": ["Login failed"],
"errors": {}
}

Hi @Harish R ,

Authentication with sessions was deprecated.

Deprecation notice - Basic authentication with passwords and cookie-based authentication

Hi @edwin 

Thanks for the reply, I understand the deprecation notice, I have already implemented the cookie based authentication. To implement the API token (https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/api-tokens-938839638.html?_ga=2.257976330.126705121.1556781355-2124198747.1551938020) I will follow the steps as mention in the link. 

Can I use this token id for different users(Jira users), because I can't ask all the users to create a API TOKEN before using client application which is in LOCAL. Please suggest me some better solution.
