Hello all,

still looking to resolve issue with dreamfactory javascript SDK  
what i want to do

have a loging page for authentification : ok  
based on example provided in SDK

```
window.app.login = function () {
        var body = {
            email: document.getElementById("email").value,
            password: document.getElementById("password").value
        };
        window.df.apis.user.login({body: body}, function (response) {
            //assign session token to be used for the session duration
            document.getElementById("login-status").innerHTML = "Logged In"
            window.authorizations.add("X-DreamFactory-Session-Token", new ApiKeyAuthorization("X-Dreamfactory-Session-Token", response.session_id, 'header'));
        }, function(response){
            document.getElementById("login-status").innerHTML = window.app.getErrorString(response);
        });
    };

    window.app.logout = function () {
        window.df.apis.user.logout(null, function (response) {
            document.getElementById("login-status").innerHTML = "Logged Out"
        }, function(response){
            document.getElementById("login-status").innerHTML = window.app.getErrorString(response);
        });
    };

```

Hi @jeebee, this sounds a lot like [your other thread here](https://community.dreamfactory.com/t/javascript-sdk-authentification-login-required-on-each-page/1071?u=jeffreystables). What makes this thread a separate issue instead of a continuation of the other thread?
