Notice:

The response data nsid 5e18fa40-5343-422f-84e3-e7f9cad6b735 is encoded by HMAC-SH256 encryption algorithm, so it's not the same as what you get from a cookie. If you connect to the graphd service successfully, remember to save the NSID locally, which is important for the exec api to execute nGQL. If you restart the gateway server, all authenticated session will be lost, please be aware of this.
