Hi Liam,

 

There could be a few things going on here. Are you receiving any errors when you try to make the call? If you have a web debugger in your browser, you might be able to see the status of the request and any error messages associated with it.

 

Some possibilities that come to mind:

  1. Certain calls are restricted to being made via HTTP POST instead of HTTP GET. The login call is one of them. So I would suggest double checking that you're making the call via HTTP POST.
  2. Generally speaking, logging in via session cookies must be explicitly enabled for a community. It is disabled by default for better security.
  3. You could also be running into issues with CORS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-origin_resource_sharing). If that's the case, our Support team can update your community's configuration to allow access from a domain you designate.

If you have any additoinal information regarding the HTTP Status of the requests and any error messages, that might help us narrow down the issue.
