Login to the Server — login

Connects to the BMS or related server using a username and password. If these are not provided, a pop-up window will prompt the user to enter their credentials. The function handles authentication and stores the resulting access token internally for subsequent requests.

Usage

login_bms(username = NULL, password = NULL, encoding = "json")

Arguments

username: The username (optional, default is NULL). If not provided, the pop-up window is triggered.
password: The password (optional, default is NULL). If not provided, the pop-up window is triggered.
encoding: Specifies how the request body should be encoded: form (application/x-www-form-urlencoded), multipart (multipart/form-data), or json (application/json). Default is "json".

Value

No return value. The access token is stored internally for future use.
