You can use the REST end point, rest/auth/plain/update. You have to POST the username and password as parameters. See the example form on http://api.hi5.com/rest_auth.plain.html to understand how to construct the POST request (i.e. what parameters to use.)

If there is no such user, you will get a 403 error, otherwise you will receive an auth token.

Thanks for your reply Sameer. But i want to authenticate the user without using the API of hi5. Is there any possible way of doing that.

I am not asking the validation of my application. I am asking a hi5 user validation.

Thanks for your replies

Why do you want to avoid the API? Can you explain the use case, and why the API doesn't serve your needs?
