3.12.3 Logging in to User Portal from a Web Application

Users can also log in to Identity Server from any web application instead of logging in from User Portal. To accomplish this, create a form and add it to the application page that will send the user’s credential to Identity Server.

Example of a form:

<form method="post" action="https://login.test-idp.com/nidp/app/login?id=snpw">
      <p>
        <br>
        <strong>User ID</strong>
        <input type="text" size="50" name="Ecom_User_ID">
        <br>  <strong>Password</strong>
       <input type="password" size="50" name="Ecom_Password">
      </p>
      <p>
        <input type="submit" name="login" value="Login">
      </p>
    </form>

https://login.test-idp.com/nidp/app/login?id=snpw is the URL to send data through the POST method to Identity Server. This URL sends the user credentials and the ID of the contract. login.test-idp.com is the URL of the Identity Server and snpw is the ID of the contract.

Ensure that the value of the name attribute of username is Ecom_User_ID and password is Ecom_Password.
