Authentication issue

texte = I need to get a better understanding of how WNDA handles authentication I want to provide a form on a home page that allows a user to enter their username and password and click enter. The destination page has a [protect] but I would rather not have the authentication dialog appear. It seems like WDNA doesn't use the form fields [username] and [password] like I expected. I can display [username] and [password] within [formvariables], but not by themselves (!?) Also, the username and password entered into the form seem to be independent variables from those entered into an authenticate dialog. How can I synchronize the authentication user/pass with inputs from a form? I'd like the values entered into the form on the first page to simply handle authentication.
