I was hoping to find the login page for the admin (~/sitefinity) in the Administration > Backend Pages section, but all I see there ~/Sitefinity/LoginPages/LoginForm. The login page URL that shows up for anonymous users though is ~/Sitefinity/Authenticate/SWT.

I also tried looking in Adminsitration > Settings > Advanced > Security > Membership Providers > Default > Parameters, but I could not find a login page URL that I can update. Another place I looked was Design > Widget Templates hoping to find the login control template.

Also would I have to make a different login page for claims based and forms based sites, or is the same login page used for both?

Hi Basem,

What you can do in order to have a custom login page is use the custom errors section in the web.config in order to intercept the 403 (unauthorized) errors and redirect to your custom page:

<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="GenericErrorPage.htm">

<errorstatusCode="403"redirect="NoAccess.htm"/>

</customErrors>

Doing it this way will be the same in both claims and forms authentication.
