What to return from server side for success to ajax call in Ember.js

I am complete beginner to Ember and jQuery. I am trying to implement a login page and I can't understand what should I return from the server side for the case of failed login. The code I have written until now is:

App.LoginController = Ember.Controller.extend({
    loginFailed: false,

    login: function() {
        this.setProperties({
            loginFailed: false
        });

        var request = $.post("/Login", this.getProperties("username", "password"));
        request.then(this.success.bind(this), this.failure.bind(this));
    },

    success: function() {
        // sign in logic
        alert("Successful Login");  
    },

    failure: function() {
        this.set("loginFailed", true);
    }
});

I have a login template and username and password are bound to inputs in the template. Currently, I am able to get the requests on the server side but I can't understand what should I return from server side for case of success and failure.

You will want to just spit out some sort of output. What language are you running on the server? In php I would do something like this

while(ob_end_clean()); // make sure my output buffer is clean
// This is your object that will be returned to the client
$json_out = array(
  'status' => 0 // status 0 equals failed login, 1 will mean success
  'message' => '' // if you would like to display a message and have the server control it
);
if($successful_login){
  $json_out['status'] = 1;
}
header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo json_encode($json_out);
exit;
