[stork-users] Stork API Creating a Session

[Slawek Figiel]

Hello Shamir!

The Stork server requires providing three items to create a session:

- authenticationMethodId
- identifier
- secret

The meaning of the identifier and secret depends on the authentication 
method. The built-in authentication method is called "internal." It uses 
the credentials stored in the Stork database to authenticate users. In 
this case, the identifier is a user email or login, and the secret is a 
user password.

Below is a snippet of how you can create a session in Python:

```
     import requests

     session = requests.Session()
     credentials = {
         "authenticationMethodId": "internal",
         "identifier": "admin",
         "secret": "admin",
     }
     session.post("http://server:8080/api/sessions", json=credentials)
     return session
```
