Hello dsharma 

I see you are an SSO user. Hence, it would be best if you used sso.authentication_token parameter

Here are the documentation and screenshot for reference "Session Key authentication"

Hi MohammedSh , thanks for taking time. 

I tried with sso as well, still not able to authenticate

 curl --location --request \                                                                                             
    POST 'https://community.alteryx.com/restapi/vc/authentication/sessions/login' \
    --form 'user.login=dshrm' \
    --form 'user.password=*****' \
    --form 'sso.authentication_token=66231595-191e-4353-9e9e-e5906dbf7f0e'

 

I tried with removing password field , removing user.login but nothing worked. 
Here sso token used in the valid generated UUID. 
Is token something different to be used here or can be used anything to uniquely identifies?
