The Web services application submits aPOST to a specific wslogin page URL with credentials and a taskId identifying the desiredNetSuite page. The wslogin page then authenticates the request, provides a new session andredirects to the requested page.Important: Using the POST mechanism ensures security because the user's credentialswill be encrypted using https and, therefore, will NOT be vulnerable duringtransmission.The following table lists the POST parameters that can be submitted.Parameter TypeRequired forAuthenticationDescriptionemail text Yes Must reflect a valid email address of an entity in youraccount.password password Yes The password of the entity associated with the emailprovided.taskid text Yes For a list of currently exposed NetSuite TaskIDs, refer toTask IDs.
