Get a sign-in handoff for a site
A single-use handoff that signs the member in on their company’s storefront, for an app that holds the member’s token and opens one of the company’s member sites in a browser session of its own, such as Mist’s site preview. The app sends a random continuity secret it keeps, redeems the handoff once at redeem_url (see that field), then opens site_url. The handoff expires about a minute after it is made and is never put in a URL. The response is never cached (Cache-Control: private, no-store).
For a company that signs in through the identity service, only with a person’s identity access token (a rep or an admin) for this member; anything else answers 403 identity_session_required. For a company that does not, only with a token the storefront’s own sign-in would accept for this member (the one fluid-login hands back), and not one minted to act for them (a cloud run’s login, an on-behalf or read-only token); anything else answers 403 unauthorized. Bearer only: the cookie mount is refused with 403. It answers 404 while member sites or the member storefront are off for the member’s company, and for a site the member may not view.

}Authorizations
A member credential in the Authorization: Bearer header: a member
session JWT, a portal JWT whose login is linked to a membership in
that company, an opaque member token, or a verified One Auth identity
access token. The credential alone identifies the member and company.
Member session JWTs, and portal JWTs the server minted read-only, are
refused with 403 on every write.
Path Parameters
Public id of one of the member's sites.
Body
What a sign-in handoff request carries.
A random secret the app generates for this handoff and keeps. Only its digest is stored; the app sends it again in the redeem's body. Treat it as a secret.
32 - 128Response
The handoff.
The sign-in handoff for a site.
