Changing Maximo login from pop up to FORM based

When maximo is installed with tds ldap, normally login screen comes up in a pop up. To change the login page from BASIC to FORM base following steps needs to be performed.

1. Open the web.xml file located in \IBM\SMP\maximo\applications\maximo\ maximouiweb\webmodule\WEB-INF\.
2. Take a back up of existing web.xml
3. Uncomment the login-config entry and make sure that the BASIC based login-config section is commented out.
The example code below shows which lines must be commented out.
<login-config>
     <auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
      <realm-name>MAXIMO Web Application Realm</realm-name>
      <form-login-config>
          <form-login-page>/webclient/login/ login.jsp?appservauth=true</form-login-page>
        <form-error-page>/webclient/login/loginerror.jsp</formerror- page>
    </form-login-config>
</login-config>

<!--
<login-config>
    <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
    <realm-name>MAXIMO Web Application Realm</realm-name>
</login-config>
-->
4.    Save the file and then rebuild and redeploy the maximo.ear file.
