Hello,
I am trying to Login using POSTMAN Client for Chrome browser and using AJAX from a JS script, i am getting the Login request is missing required email error. But Login works when i use the JS SDK.
Screenshot of POSTMAN Client:
If you are sending XML, see here:
I am using plain ajax request, can you please provide an example of using with the POSTMAN client for chrome or advise me if there is any error with the attached image.
Thank you.
If you post the complete request and response, headers and body, I can tell you what is wrong.

This image has the complete header and body.
That image is a screenshot from a utility. Could you provide the raw POST and response? (Your browser’s network/console view should trap the full, actual request and response.)
[Removed incorrect statement, see post below for further detail.]
Sorry, please check the complete details below,

It looks to me like you’re providing email and password as both header values and URI parameters. Have you tried just using one or the other?
I am passing the application name via Header and email, password via URL Params… I am really not sure what is the issue, CORS is also enabled for all requests and hosts (*)
I was incorrect when I stated I got the curl request to work using URI parameters to provide email and password. This does not work and the response I received was due to having guest access enabled, not actually instantiating a valid session for the given user.
Credentials (email, password) must be provided as part of the body of the request, not in the URI. E.g., in JSON,
{ "email": "jeffrey@dreamfactory.com", "password": "12345" }
I installed Postman and tested with the above, and it worked. No URI parameters involved.
Wiki page for reference on including email and password in body instead of URI:

Awesome! Thank you!
