do you want an actual login system, or a cencept of login system, or just only a login screen?

as for login screen, you can use the gui editor.

It should work with the way Zatan13th said use the GUI editor then link everything up.

I am not sure how to show a login screen as soon as the user join the server (don't know if it's even possible), but creating a login form with dialogs is quite easy. Here's a sample:

defines.hpp (Arma base classes)

LoginForm.hpp

class LoginForm
{
name = "LoginForm";
idd = 3400;
movingEnable = false;

class controls {

	class LoginForm_usr : RscEdit {
		colorBackground[] = {0, 0, 0, 1};
		idc = 3401;
		x = 0.1999;
		y = 0.074;
		w = 0.6;
		h = 0.05;
	};

	class LoginForm_pwd : RscEdit {
		colorBackground[] = {0, 0, 0, 1};
		idc = 3402;
		x = 0.1999;
		y = 0.154;
		w = 0.6;
		h = 0.05;
	};

	class LoginForm_button: RscButton
	{
		idc = 3403;
		text = "LOGIN";
		x = 0.1999;
		y = 0.224;
		w = 0.6;
		h = 0.05;
		action = "closeDialog 3400; hint format[""User: %1 - Pass: %2"", ctrlText 3401, ctrlText 3402];";
	};
};
};

Put those files on your mission root, then add the following to your Description.ext file:

#include "defines.hpp"
#include "LoginForm.hpp"

Now you can open the dialog from the debug console (or from anywhere you want) with:

createDialog "LoginForm";

The login form I created is not aligned or anything, it's just a quick sample for testing so you can see how to read the textboxes input. When you click the login button it will close the dialog and show a hint with the user and pass the user input.
