            success: function(data, status, xhr) {
                hideAllContent();
                $("#sign_out_menu_item").show();
                $("#sign_in_menu_item").hide();
                $("#welcome").text("Welcome " + data["username"] + "!");
                $("#welcome").show();
            },
            xhrFields: {
                withCredentials: true
            },
            crossDomain: true
        });
