PROBLEM:
iChain allows you to customize its login page, but only using very basic HTML. I have a customer who wants to provide their own login form on a web page accelerated by iChain (through a public resource) to allow their users to login through their own web form, not the iChain form.
SOLUTION:
To do this, all you need is the following code in an HTML (or PHP, ASP, whatever) page:
<FORM ACTION="/ICSLogin/" METHOD="POST" ENCTYPE="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"> User Name: <INPUT NAME="username" TYPE="text" SIZE="20"><br /> Password: <INPUT NAME="password" TYPE="password" SIZE="20"><br /> <INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="submit" value="Log In" ALT="Login"><br /> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="url" VALUE="https://your.server.com/" READONLY> </FORM>
