Account Login

Designates the workflow design for logging a user in.

Authentication will depend on django.contrib.auth.views.login; any view flagged with @requires_login will be redirected to the login page. The page will provide for the ability to login and redirect to the original view passed in as the "next" variable.

The page will have detailed error handling, including authentication and entry error messages. Fields should have "dual display" notifications on errors, including textual and visual identification. A form-level error will be displayed otherwise.

The page will provide a link for login assistance, instructing the user on how to properly log in and offering help on retrieving login information or resetting the password. Also provided should be a link to register for an account for new users.
