Solution 1

IMO you should use a wait cursor rather than a progressbar. A progressbar is an indicator of a fixed and know time or quantity, the login process is indeterminate.

Solution 2

hi,

try wait cursor for user login Authentication.

Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor;

Just as an additional hint to Marks answer, you should use try/finaly.
If there's something going wrong while authentication your WaitCursor will stay.

C#

try
{
   Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor;
   // do authentication;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
   // handle exception
}
finally
{
   Cursor.Current = Cursors.Default;
}
