Forms authentication is the default authentication scheme for My webMethods Server. This authentication scheme presents a form to a user and gathers the necessary credentials that are passed to the server by means of a form POST (data is passed to the server’s standard input). It is simple to customize the form or page that is used for authentication. It is also easy to present different forms and pages based on a wide variety of different criteria. For example, it is very likely that you would want to provide different login experiences for users accessing a server from mobile devices than for users accessing the server from a browser.
