Intialises the API and starts attempting to connect to the servers. Once connected it attempts to login with the details provided. The result will be raised via the LoginSuccess or LoginFailure events. If login fails and you want to try again then you need to dispose of this object and create another.

If you need to change the password on login due to receiving a PasswordExpired login result then pass the new password in the psNewPassword field and it will be updated. You still need to specify the previous password in the psPassword field.
