We have a MOSS 2010 box running some web apps with a FBA system and a custom login on our designed home page. The web app is on port 85 and the port 80 holds a home page with some static content as well as the login box.
I'm trying to replace the content management by some other solution since SharePoint is a bit of an overkill for our actual needs. This means replacing the current embedded SP login form by a simple one like this:
<form action="myAuthPage.aspx" method="POST">
<input...>
</form>
As i've been searching through the net, nothing relevant appeared. Is this kind of method possible and how can it be implemented?
Seems that the solution revolves around the /_vti_bin/Authentication.asmx web service. It is indeed a bit heavy.
I found some snippet that one could find useful:
