Configuring a custom form login page
Liberty provides the ability to define a custom form login page for users to submit authentication credentials.
About this task
You can customize your own custom form login page, but you must implement this page in the required form-based authentication format as specified in the Servlet 3.0 specification. In all forms, the action on the form element must be j_security_check. The action must use the j_username input field to get the user name and the j_password input field to get the user password in forms supporting authentication schemes that require a user name and password. The custom form login page must be provided as an unprotected web resource. You can set this login page at the global server level, which applies to all applications deployed to the server. Alternatively, you can specify the login page for individual applications.
