Login Page
/pages/login.ftl template in the portal
theme. This page is used when a portal uses an LDAP authentication scheme, to gather
the
username and password for the user.This page is only required for portals secured using LDAP. If a user is not logged
in or their
session has recently expired and they attempt to visit any page within the Portal,
they will be
forwarded to this page if the Portal does not support anonymous browsing. Attempting
to access
the login page in a Portal without security will redirect to
portal-home.ftl. In order to log in, a client must send a successful
POST containing valid username and password
parameters to the URL below. If their information matches the credentials stored in
the server
connected to by the LDAP configuration set up on the admin application then they will
be
forwarded to the portal. If the request was unsuccessful for any reason, the user
will be
redirected to login.ftl and there will be an error message added to the
model.
The most basic login.ftl should contain the following contents:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
</head>
<body>
<#if errorMessage??>
${errorMessage?html}
</#if>
<form action="login" method="post">
<label for="username">User Name</label>
<input type="text" name="username" placeholder="User Name">
<label for="password">Password</label>
<input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Password">
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
</body>
</html>
