Worklight 6.1 handle user login in iOS Swift native app

I'm trying to login in a native iOS app to Worklight 6.1 server and I'm not able to find anything that can help, I read the documentation about authenticators, challenges and challenge handlers, but when I try the challenge handler is always called event if the resource (procedure) is not protected with security test.

I have the following questions:

  1. How can I handle user login? I read in the javascript code in a hybrid app that is integrated with the same server and found a login function in WLClient which I can't find in the native app SDK.
  2. How can I get the logged in user data and how can I check if the user logged in or not?
  3. what is "wl_unprotected" securityTest? is it the same as not assigning a security test to the procedure or not?

Please help because I'm not able to understand this complicated authentication mechanism in anyway.

Thanks in advance.

Why read the JavaScript tutorial? Read the training materials for Native iOS. They clearly demonstrate this.

The following is for MobileFirst Platform 7.0, but it's the same for 6.1:

Start here: https://developer.ibm.com/mobilefirstplatform/documentation/getting-started-7-0/authentication-security/

Select either form-based, adapter-based or customer (which ever you're using), and then look at the client-side tutorial. There is even a sample application implemented in Swift.
