Start with the STOCK installation of http\ files.
It is a long evolved history for the "Web Authentication" system. It
was once optional and it began with an zip file that was distributed
via the AUP and CD but it was optionally installed.
wcWebAuth.zip
But today, it is automatically unzipped. If you say NO to the
AutoUpdate "Upgrade Web Authentication?" question, I think the zip is
placed in your wildcat folder.
It is still is documented in the AUP.CHM "Web Authentication" section
as if this file exist for manually installation and it has the old
listing of files that were in the zip. The current files are in the
zip are:

1293 04-26-05 11:44 http/public/warning-no-cookie.wct
WCWEB now required its file and templates in order to work properly,
so its no longer optional. By 454.3 update it was auto unzip, see the
upgrade information.
http://www.winserver.com/public/aup/upgradeinfo.htm
The help is still valid for the remaining details. It needs to be
updated to say the files are already installed.
http://www.winserver.com/public/aup/webauthsummary.htm
Once you have all the stock files in place, you can now go to:
WCCONFIG | WEB Server | Authentication options
and select how you want the user to login:
Do you want the user to get the browser to POPUP a login box?
Browsers will do this for BASIC or DIGEST Authentication because it is
built into the browser.
Do you want the user to get a LOGIN form on the browser page? This
is not built into the browser, so wcWEB will create the display for
Cookie-based or WcNavigator authentication.
We designed and spent of lot of time, testing it when all methods are
checked because if the user does not allow javascript, then
cookie-based login will not work. So we attempted to be smart to do
the method that matches the user and his browser. If the user has no
javascript for security reasons, he will see BUTTONS to start
BASIC/DIGEST, otherwise he sees the login form.
It works 90% of the time. So my recommendation is to choose two and
what you are requesting, choose the following:
[X] Allow WcNavigator Web Login Challenge
[X] Allow Cookie-based Authentication
Now play with the login. You will see a login form similar to that
you see at winserver.com, but without the image. That requires
understanding how to use one of the example "PrintLoginForms" examples.
You can read the AUP.CHM sections, in particular the example login forms.

There are three zip files in the AUP.CHM that you can download, see
he example login forms page:
PrintLoginForms.zip
WcCrossLogin.zip
html-xdl.zip
Download the zips from withing the AUP.CHM in the example section.
The wcCrossLogin and html-xdl zips are the one used by santronics.com
to do a cross domain login to winserver.com. I am not going to go
into detail about this now. Too complex because you have to make
detail changes to your existing pages where you want to place a
"little login box" to do a cross domain login. But I will explain the
more simpler PrintLoginForm system:
PrintLoginForms.zip contains:
C:\wcat>unzip -l printloginforms.zip

The one used at winserver.com is printloginform-splash.wct.
Read this file for instructions. But I see a typo in it. Here is the
corrected one:
@COMMENT@
**************************************************************************
File : printloginform-splash.wct
Date : 11/26/2018
Version: v7.0.454.6
This is a special replacement custom login form that illustrates how
to add a splash window to th cookie-base login form..
To use, set following line is set in the
"http\template\custom\LoginOptionsCustom.inc" file:
@set Login.CustomForm="wc:\http\public\printloginform-splash.wct"@
**************************************************************************
@ENDCOMMENT@
@//@----------------------------------------------------------------------
@//@ Drag Window Display
@//@ Set IF condition to TRUE to enable window dragging
@//@----------------------------------------------------------------------
@IF FALSE@
@ENDIF@
But for me, I placed "printloginform-splash.wct" in the
http\template\custom\ folder, and for the
"http\template\custom\LoginOptionsCustom.inc" file, I set
Login.CustomForm to:
@set Login.CustomForm="wc:\http\template\printloginform-splash.wct"@
Thats it for winserver.com setup.
Have fun!
