Create a document that can only be viewed by an authenticated user
(eg. all my users get the role 'Authenticated' as well as their
other roles). This document is your 'login succeeded' screen.
When a user tries to access it, they don't have rights as an anonymous
user so Zope's authentication machinery kicks in and your login
screen is rendered. After successful authentication, the 'login succeeded'
screen is displayed.
