In many cases the logon desires the username and password validation for business layer like Risk Management System. There are no such tags defined in earlier version of FIX i.e 4.0,4.1. In that case you might want to agree with the thirdparty and come up with custom tags which is allowed under the FIX Protocol. Also you can find the existing tags used by other vendors listed under http://www.fixprotocol.org/specifications/fields/6000-6999.
You will have to find the tags used for username / password so that you are along with majority.
