Choosing the Web Authentication Login Page
Follow these guidelines when preparing the customized login page:
•
Name the login page “login.html.” The controller prepares the web authentication URL based on this
name. If the does not find this file after the webauth bundle has been untarred, the bundle is
discarded, and an error message appears.
•
Include input fields for both a username and password.
•
Retain the redirect URL as a hidden input item after extracting from the original URL.
•
Extract and set the action URL in the page from the original URL.
•
Include scripts to decode the return status code.
•
Make sure that all paths used in the main page (to refer to images, for example) are of relative type.

customized login page. Refer to the “Downloading a Customized Web Auth Page” section in the Using
