Hi guys,

Here is my scenario.

• When anonymous user visits site collection's default site, custom login form panel is shown. This form is a webUserControl(.ascx file) that is embeded into page as webpart.

• Then user enters username and password.

• When submit button has been clicked, authentication will be handled by code behind of custom login form panel.

Here is my question. How can I call SharePoint's authentication method with the username and password that is entered by user. Simply, I want users to login through my custom login form panel because default windows authentication window is looking really bad.
