okay, I've tried

we have SSO signin and psw

cUrl response on trying to get a session-key

 

<response status="error">
  <error code="302">
    <message>
      User authentication failed.
    </message>
  </error>
</response>
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: application
'user.password' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

 

in the user.name field is my user name, in the psw field - my signing psw?

I see that I need 

sso.authentication_tokenSingle-sign-on token that identifies the user

how to find it?

and how to code it in the cUrl request?

Good to know. I found this example in our LIthiumSSO Token authentication guide.  Do you have an sso authentication token for your user that you could pass like this?

curl -X \
    POST https://[COMMUNITY DOMAIN]/restapi/vc/authentication/sessions/login \
    -H 'content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
    -d 'sso.authentication_token': '~aj340iw03riaw3ria9pw3ir09aw3ir90awillzxdvmklzsd'
