  +--+xns/Session/Login
Establishes a browser login session, then produces authentication credentials for the session. If a current login session exists, the user will be asked to re-enter her authentication credentials. This message is used if the merchant needs fresh authentication credentials - usually for a sensitive transaction. This message usually originates from the merchant, is sent to a central session service, then forwarded to the authentication authority by the session service. Upon successful login, the authentication authority forwards the user to the central session service with a +xns/Session/LoginNotify message.
All arguments required for this message are inherited from the Authenticate message.
To: If specified, this is the identity to send the request to. If unspecified, authentication will be forwarded to the merchant's preferred authentication authority.
From: The originator of the message. This may be the originating merchant, the central session service, or a forwarding AA.
