The login page refers to the screen that is displayed when users are required to provide login information.

The login page must contain a form that sends login information to the server. The information must be posted to a page called 'authenticate.aspx'. The following fields are required in the form: 

 •  USERNAME: The login name. 

 •  PASSWORD: The password, in plain text. 

 •  from: The URL-encoded value of the URL of the page accessed prior to the login request. 

If the login is successful, the response will redirect to the value of the 'from' parameter. If not then the login page will be returned with the error held in the LabelInvalidLogin value. 

Note : For security purposes, the website should employ SSL security so that passwords are not sent in plain text.
