    1. Create a hook for overriding default login page of Liferay

    2. The portal can authenticate users based on their email address, screen name, or user id.
    This is set in portal-ext.properties

        company.security.auth.type=emailAddress  //This enables authentication to happen through Email Address
    #company.security.auth.type=screenName
    #company.security.auth.type=userId

    Adding your own table might cause a problem in future if the next release of Liferay plans to add table of the name that you will be giving now!

    3. Set default.landing.page.path to whichever path you want Users to land after authentication.
    This is set in portal-ext.properties. It can also be configured through Admin port.
