Authenticates a member for authenticated devices and returns an HTTP-only authentication cookie

The HTTP Authorization header must include a Central Identity Management device token (also known as a DIM token).

Providing this cookie with subsequent requests works as an alternative to the LoyaltySessionToken HTTP header.

Sign out is handled by the ExpireAuthenticationCookie method.

When using cookie-based authentication, the API will automatically refresh the cookie when the access token has expired.

In addition to the authentication cookie, a second vista-loyalty-member-is-authenticated cookie is returned that can be used by the client to detect whether the patron is authenticated.

Data is to be provided as application/x-www-form-urlencoded form parameters in the format of member workstation authentication request

Unlike the standard member authentication endpoints, the cookie from this endpoint does not have permission to update member details.
