AuthenticationResource login endpoint throwing 400 code

[sethgr...@gmail.com]

Documentation doesn't show an example of a post body but below is a sample post from fiddler I used for testing. I also tested by posting with query string params (though documentation states these should be forms). I tried with both simple user and ldap (ActiveDirectory) account credentials and I get 400 code back from both. I'm attempting to use this method to confirm a user's credentials will work. Other api methods work just fine when provided basic auth headers.

Apologies - I guess it really is a forms post, and not json post. Found it by tracing UI.

Changing the request to post just field names resulted in 200 (or 401 if wrong credentials).
