AEM Edge Delivery Services Authentication

Authenticate to obtain a token for all Edge Delivery Services admin operations. Auto-detects identity provider from org+site — no content source question needed. Opens the user's default browser for login and receives the token via a local callback server.

Token Usage

The authToken works for admin APIs:

API	Header	Usage
`admin.hlx.page`	`x-auth-token: ${AUTH_TOKEN}`	Preview, publish, status, code sync, jobs, logs, config
Config Service	`x-auth-token: ${AUTH_TOKEN}`	Sites, config, secrets, API keys, profiles

Note: admin.da.live uses a separate Adobe IMS token with Authorization: Bearer header. See the DA-specific login flow in ops/resources/da.md.
