This is the one main screen that we choose to make friendly for new and demo users, and actually show the username and password on it. This is meant to address the exact scenario that Ruth brought up.

However, in addition to that there are lots of possible "back-end" applications that might have some public facing pages that do not require authentication. With those types of apps sometimes it's nice to choose to login instead of only being able to when you go to a page that requires auth. Why make it more difficult?

Also, don't most applications have a "Login" button somewhere? Maybe I'm way off here... but I think it's pretty normal.

Simply, why is webtools any different from any of the other webapps that we log into on the backend? Can't we just have them be consistent? I could be missing something here, so please feel free to right my wrong.

Cheers,

Log:
A patch from Marco Risaliti : "Cannot login to Webtools"
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-2582
) - OFBIZ-2582

Huh?  Why?  There's a login link in the header.

The problem is there is no login link in the bizznesstime theme's
header, and that is the reason we're having all of these discussions.

I just sent another message about it, and I've seen some comments
saying we shouldn't have a login link in the header... but isn't that

a little silly?
