I'm not sure if it's in the spec - but Orion does this (and it seems

If you create a form with the correct fields (j_username and j_password etc)
and point the form from outside the secure area to inside it - it will log
you in as you 'cross' the boundary. If your login is rejected it takes you
to the failure page defined in web.xml.
