API login with shared secret instead of password

Is it possible to log into Connect via an API call using a shared secret instead of a password?  Every example I see uses the password value in the login action, but I would think that if the shared secret value is set, there should be an option for that as well.

    You may want to talk to Platinum Support (you should be on a licensed deployment since you are using SSO) and see if they have any methods of achieving this. It may just be something that isn't in the API documentation.

    Users need to be logged in innitially with their user name and password, but the Session ID can be used after that to access content. I suspect you are already using this documentation, but here is the API documentation for logging in a user: Adobe Connect 9 * Log in from an application

    The login action works fine, assuming I know the password, but this application resides under an enterprise SSO implementation.  The SSO header contains the username of the person who is logged in, but does not contain the password.  I'm able to log in as the admin service account in Connect with the login action, which lets me create user accounts on the fly (assuming they are not already in Connect), but I want to then log out as the admin and log in as the actual user.  I was hoping that the shared secret key would give me an option for that.
