Login Page

The login page is the entry into the Service Provider User Interface. The password is validated against the password in the LDAP directory. An error is displayed if the user cannot be found in the directory or if the password is invalid.

Authentication occurs through the com.sun.idm.idmx.web.AuthFilter servlet filter. To change the filter or its initialization parameters, modify the $WSHOME/WEB-INF/web.xml file. See Configuring the Filter for more details.

If the Service Provider Account Policy has been configured to lock out an account when the user does not login successfully after a specified number of attempts, the user is redirected to another page that states the account is locked. In addition, Service Provider sends the user an email that states the account is locked.

The following table summarizes the structure of this page.
