Member Function Documentation

Executes the log-in attempt using the parameters passed.

If the log-in succeeds, it attaches a cookie to the session and outputs the user id, username, and session token. If a log-in fails, as the result of a bad password, a nonexistent user, or any other reason, the host is cached with an expiry and no log-in attempts will be accepted until that expiry is reached. The expiry is $this->mLoginThrottle.
