Authenticate: POST /http/authenticate

This method is the submission target for authentication choices presented by the login form. It starts the authentication process for the chosen provider, returning an HTTP response as dictated by the provider-specific authentication process. For example the HTTP response may be a redirect to an external service like Facebook.

If the 'siteuser' iCM maintenance area is offline this method will throw a validation error, returning the user to the login form (via renderLoginForm) which will display a suitable user friendly message explaining that site logins are currently disabled.
