The product and subdomain fields must be customized.

Product should be one of basecamp, backpack, campfire, or highrise.
Subdomain should be the subdomain portion of your account's URL.

Example for a Basecamp account located at http://acme.basecamphq.com:

<input name="product" value="basecamp" type="hidden" />
<input name="subdomain" value="acme" type="hidden" />

Tried this out, but it's not working properly.

It ends up directing to this link: https://launchpad.37signals.com/authenticate
with this message: The page you were looking for doesn't exist. You may have mistyped the address or the page may have moved.

However, when I reload the page and sign in with the same information, It works fine.

How can this be resolved? Any help would be much appreciated.

I had the same problem...

I solved in this way:
I replaced https://launchpad.37signals.com/authenticate
with
https://launchpad.37signals.com/session
(when I normally login on basecam it uses this url)
And....
Removed subdomain (not needed)

<form action="https://launchpad.37signals.com/session" method="post">
    <input name="product" value="basecamp" type="hidden" />
    <p>Username<br />
        <input name="username" id="username" type="text"  /></p>
    <p>Password<br />
        <input name="password" id="password" type="password" /></p>

    <p><label><input name="remember_me" id="remember_me" value="1" type="checkbox" />
            Remember me on this computer
        </label></p>

        <p><input name="submit" value="Sign in" type="submit" /></p>
</form>

How would we create a check to see if we are already logged in (and forward if so?). It's strange having to login every time... when you may already be logged in.
