As part of setting up a form-based authentication solution, you must establish a login page that produces a simple XHTML representation of your login form that can be used by non-browser clients (for example, Java applications) to collect login data and post it to the URL specified by the wt.auth.form.submitUrl property. This page is necessary since non-browser clients need assistance in handling form-based authentication (which is, after all, an application convention intended for browser clients).

PTC provides the login.jsp file as the required login page representation used by non-browser clients. The file is located in the codebase/login subdirectory where Windchill is installed. Since the login.jsp file is used to represent the credential data fields required by the login form, you can edit the file to include appropriate display labels and form field names.
