You can create a dedicated page to login to your application or create a login block on a self-made homepage. In these case you are responsible for the graphical design of your page. Here we describe how you can add the login logic.

• You need a form with a login input and a password input. You can get the action on the form using $session.getLoginUrl()
• In case login fails a message has to be shown. You get the message using $session.getOneTimeMessagesAsString(). When this method returns null, no further action is needed. When the methods return a value, you should show this text to your user.
• For adding a "forgot your password" link, you can use $session.getForgetPasswordUrl() to get the url for this link. When the user clicks on this link a window will open where the user can enter an email address. This email adress is used to send a link to update the password. As parameter of this method you can add the url of the page that will be displayed after the email address is entered and found.
