The login action is a turbine action and u need not to define any portlet for login. All what you need to do is to write the client-side script that will get the userid ( throw your ActiveX or whateveer ) and then submit the this form
<form method="POST" >
<input name="action" type="hidden" value="JLoginUser">
<input value="" name="username" >
<input value="" name="password" >
</form>
You can also make the username and password hidden

Subject: User authentication
We are currently using an Active X control to get the user Id from
Windows,
which is used for authentication and for authorization also. No
passwords
are used. We want to implement the same with portal and found a variable
topnav.user_login.enable in JetspeedResources.properties, I understood
from
the documentation, when it is set to false, logging will be done through
login portlet, which I think I can implement it in my own way. I
couldn't
figure out if there is a portlet existing that I can use or if I need to
write a new portlet, how do I configure it. Thanks for any help.
