Allow Conformance Test Tool (CTT) to login

CTT is going to use low level of assurance because passing login when 2FA is enabled would be infeasible. Production environment should be way more secure and traditional authentication using credentials could be even disabled if there is a need to use more secure ways of logging in like biometrics, ID card logins etc.

It is not mandatory to have exactly the same parameter names because CTT supports any parameter names for credentials.

iSHARE documentation does not cover login failures because it’s only within Identity Providers scope.
