The REST API uses cookie-based authentication.

In this topic:

## Cookies used by the REST API

The following cookies are used by the REST API:

Cookie | Description
--- | ---
LWSSO_COOKIE_KEY | Mandatory cookie. This is the authentication token. This cookie is expected to be sent in each subsequent request. It is returned in the response of a successful authentication request. For details, see sign_in.

## Session management and expiration

In any request you send to the server, return all cookies sent by the server in the preceding response using the "Set-Cookie" header. See http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6265. Failing to resend cookies can result in authentication expiration while the user is interacting with the REST API service.
