Method: SysAid.login

Defined in:
lib/sysaid.rb

.login(account = nil, username = nil, password = nil, wsdl_uri = nil, debug = nil) ⇒ Object

self.login does not require credentials be passed every time. SysAid sometimes times out the session and we can simply call ‘login’ again with the saved credentials to get around the timeout.
