How can I do a custom control login form in xPages?

Question

I need to create a custom login form for login to Domino using xPages.

I need the login to be like a custom control so I can put it on every page.

so in case user are not logged in when they access my site they can choose to do so using the username and password fields provided at the top right

any ideas how to do this?

I wrote a short series of articles on using ajax to accomplish this. You can find links to the articles on the Domino Designer wiki.

While this is geared towards using a dojo dialog box to show the login fields you can use the same concepts if the login fields are always displayed in the banner.
