Hello Harold,
It looks like this curl command should be slightly changed to be closer to what's needed for making this call. I went ahead and generated one for the authn call here through Postman and got this:
curl --location --request POST "https://xxxx.okta.com/api/v1/authn" ^
--header 'Accept: application/json' ^
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' ^
--data-raw '{
"username": "",
"password": "",
"options": {
"multiOptionalFactorEnroll": true,
"warnBeforePasswordExpired": true
}
}'
You can download our collections for Postman from here: https://developer.okta.com/docs/reference/postman-collections/ - and after doing so and setting up these calls, the "Code" option should let you generate what you need for curl commands.
