POST 
/nevisidm/api/auth/v1/:clientExtId/users/:userExtId/context-password/login

Since: 2.88.0

Required permission(s): AccessControl.CredentialView

Verifies the provided password against the context password credential identified by the given context string for the specified user.

The credential must exist for the given context, be in an active state, and within its validity period. A 200 response does not mean authentication succeeded, check the statusCode in the response body. Login failures (wrong password) are returned as statusCode 2 or higher within the 200 response body, not as HTTP errors. Pre-condition failures (credential not found, not active, expired) result in 4xx HTTP errors.
