I usually do the following
On the label line change the text to be a non-break space <label for="auth-id"> </label> On the input line change the type to be hidden <td><input type="hidden" NAME="<%=Params.AUTHENTICATION_STRING%>" id="auth-id" maxlength="<%=Params.AUTHENTICATION_STRING_LENGTH%>" class="loginfield" size="30"></td> This way no other files need to be updated and all objects are still available.

I commented out the following section in the login.jsp file: <label for="auth-id"><%=MessageTranslation.getLocalizedText(locale,"Authenticat ion")%></label> </td> <td><input type="text" NAME="<%=Params.AUTHENTICATION_STRING%>" id="auth-id" maxlength="<%=Params.AUTHENTICATION_STRING_LENGTH%>" class="loginfield" size="30" ></td> This seems to work with one minor problem. When I comment out this section and the Mid Tier login screen loads, my cursor is no longer focused on the User name field. So no a user will have to click in the field before typing. Anyone have a fix for this?
