HI Team, I have question for how to login vault with API;  
And I’m using a enterprise vault, my team has a sub BU let’s call it as BU\_Demo.  
And the vault login link is: [https://vault.orgname.net/ui/vault/auth?with=token&namespace=orgname/BU\_Demo;](https://vault.orgname.net/ui/vault/auth?with=token&namespace=orgname/BU_Demo;)  
So how could I login my BU with API, how I setup the parameter, Thanks.

Depends on the auth type you want to use.

You can always get it from the CLI too:

```auto
$ vault login -method=ldap -output-curl-string username=test 
Password (will be hidden): 
curl -X PUT -H "X-Vault-Request: true" -d '{"password":"myPassword"}' https://vault.basement.lab/v1/auth/ldap/login/test

```
