Create custom endpoint to authenticate token/session key

If you only need to authenticate on that one specific page I would recommend you take a look at the Page initialization script. In there you would check the URL (and probably also if the user is already signed in to community) and then check in before the actual page gets loaded.

Thanks Claudius for the response.

I'm actually not much worried about the page, since my goal is to successfully authenticate the call through some way (Something like a JWT token which is lightweight) and if successful login as a community user which has already predefined roles.

Is there any khoros API that can create a login session on behalf of the user?

In order to sign in a user on a non-SSO setup the easiest is probably to use Khoros Community API v1's AuthenticationManager and call https://community.acme.com/restapi/vc/authentication/sessions/login with username and password as payload

Thank you so much Claudius 
I will look into the shared docs! 🙂
