you have to set ,

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
    // Return YES for supported orientations
    return YES;
}

so that you can get all type of orientations. It's better to use reposition your controls according to the orientation. so find the location on screen and set it as given below,

- (void)willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation) interfaceOrientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration {

    if (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait || interfaceOrientation ==   UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown) { 
        NSLog(@"login portrait");


        okButton.frame = CGRectMake(69, 286, 72, 28);
        cancleButton.frame = CGRectMake(178, 286, 72, 28);
        usernameLabel.frame = CGRectMake(92, 140, 149, 16);
        passwordLabel.frame = CGRectMake(129, 208, 75, 16);
        usernameField.frame = CGRectMake(69, 164, 181, 31);
        passwordField.frame = CGRectMake(69, 237, 181, 31);
        mainLabel1.frame = CGRectMake(35, 58, 250, 21);
        mainLabel2.frame = CGRectMake(35, 77, 153, 21);
        [backgroundImage setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"portraitLogin.jpg"]];
    } else {
        NSLog(@"login landscape");


        signinButton.frame = CGRectMake(190, 183, 86, 27);
        cancleButton.frame = CGRectMake(309, 183, 86, 27);
        usernameLabel.frame = CGRectMake(50, 100, 120, 21);
        passwordLabel.frame = CGRectMake(50, 139, 75, 21);
        usernameField.frame = CGRectMake(190, 95, 205, 31);
        passwordField.frame = CGRectMake(190, 134, 205, 31);
        mainLabel1.frame = CGRectMake(50, 58, 245, 19);
        mainLabel2.frame = CGRectMake(295, 58, 153, 19);
        [backgroundImage setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"landscapeLogin.jpg"]];
    }

}

Find right places for control and specify that in CGRectMake function.

Also nil all controls ,

- (void)viewDidUnload {
    // Release any retained subviews of the main view.
    // e.g. self.myOutlet = nil;
    self.usernameLabel = nil;
    self.usernameField = nil;
    self.passwordLabel = nil;
    self.passwordField = nil;
    self.okButton = nil;
    self.cancleButton = nil;
    self.backgroundImage = nil;
    self.mainLabel1 = nil;
    self.mainLabel2 = nil;
}

hope it will work for you.
