API Login not possible - undocumented Login-method

[UdoLauer]

Hello,

please see https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/1027824-api-login-not-possible/?tab=comments#comment-3250773 for detailed information.

I'm not sure if this is only a document-issue. But i got no help from the forum, Prestashop-Security, and Slack.

Best Regards

@UdoLauer API endpoint : /api is accessible only if you have generated the appropriate .htaccess and enabled mod_rewrite in your Apache vhost

HTTP Basic auth method doesn't work on client's server and using ws_key argument helps http://prestashop.example.net/api/?ws_key=AUTH_KEY. So it should be documented.

Documentation for Apache mod_rewrite solution could be useful too as recommended here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59937378/prestashop-webservice-api-login#61968411.
