Answer 1

j_security_check is standard POST with j_username and j_password as parameters; so you can perform a POST to the login page.

But that means you will have to bring back all the usernames and passwords to the UI to perform your this post.

Are you sure you want to do that? I would do this on the server side where, when the user is admin, you perform programmatic login based on a single username.
