I'm pretty sure this is not going to work without getting an request_identifier which is required. To explain, when you load the page you get an unique number for that 'session' which is compared when you are going to log in. This is for a reason to avoid CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery). If you examine the actual POST, you will notice that not only an username or password are posted, but a few items more.
