[kepler-dev] adding user login interface to Vergil

[Laura L. Downey]

I'm confused.  I made a post to seek-dev about the log-in screen and pointed
people to the wiki some time ago.  Here's the url to the log-in and
authentication mockups:

http://kepler-project.org/Wiki.jsp?page=KeplerAuthenticationFramework

I asked for feedback and got a few minor comments.

The proposal was for the user to have to log in before getting to the other
Kepler screens so not really a need for a log-in menu item -- this was a
first cut solution until we add in more sophisticated role based access etc.

Zhijie,

Those dialogs ahve already been prototyped but not fully reviewed before
implementaiton starts.  Maybe Laura could post them on the usability
page or somewhere else on the wiki so that we can all comment before you
start implementing?  Thanks,

Matt
