mobile_session_discover (user, password, host , language="", current_date="", calendar="", device="")

Definitively removed from API in version 2.7.29

Returns, if logged in properly, the token and the user id (both needed to call protected methods), an endpoint and other user info.

Discussion

Remember that the endpoint you get from the output parameters can be totally different to the one used to call this function, and you should use the retrieved one for every new calls associated to that user.

If you still don't have a specific endpoint or you don't know to which endpoint your user is associated, you may use this method to login correctly. Otherwise simply use mobile_session_init

This method has the same input and output structure of mobile_session_init

Output Parameters

user	The user ID (different from username), needed to call protected method
WS	The URL web service endpoint

ErrorMsg	any fault in the call, either in the validation of input parameters, errors in the connection to the database or any other error, this parameter returns the error message produced
