Description
All user API requests require an extension and password for authentication and almost all user API requests also require the extension's account_id as a parameter. Use this method, which doesn't require an account_id, to return the account_id of the extension used in the user authentication.
If you (the developer) are writing an application for a user, then you would collect their login information (extension/password) and call this API method. If the login fails, this method will return a fault which you can then display to the user letting them know their extension/password is incorrect. If their login succeeds, this method will return information about the extension, including the account_id. This account_id should be stored by the application along with their user name and password for future API calls.
Arguments
This method doesn't take any parameters.
