Plone has the annoying habit of replacing the root user folder as  
well, so it might be helpful to look there as well.

I can't say much about Plone, but in many cases you can "follow the  
code" by looking at the source of that login page. From there you see  
where it posts to, and what code is invoked to check credentials, or  
which conditions must be met for the login page to be shown again, etc.

You may find more helpful answers by asking on a Plone-specific list,  
by the way.
