Answer 1

The TP returns a 200 from the REST API (transaction submitted). The TP returns a Promise which can be resolved as a Boolean, having value either true or false - depending on your result (above). You wouldn't return out from the TP. Seems to me your login code would be better in a client app - otherwise you're creating a transaction for each and every login set, good or bad and with the id and password stored in the ledger. Is this what you want?
