Potential Opening in FORMS Authentication (173250)

Symptom:

When an agent was using FORMS authentication, and a user entered an invalid username, the status of the POST to the FCC request was a 200 OK, The user was again presented with
the login form. If the user enters a valid user name and a bad password, the status of the POST request to the FCC was a 302 redirect, back to the Login.FCC.

Based on this behavior, a nefarious user can determine that a user name was valid due to the 302 redirect, and then implement a Brute Force attack against the known good user name.
