    public class UserController : ODataController
        {

               [HttpPost]
                public HttpResponseMessage Post(LoginEntityDto objLogin)
                {
                    //mylogin 

                }
        }

    //Custom class
    public class LoginEntityDto
        {
            public string username { get; set; }
            public string password { get; set; }
        }

I am inputting this post method with the below JSON Format

OData/Webapi doesn't support post a complex type in this way, why not make it as an entity type by define the key and entityset.

 [key]
 username {get;set;}

 ODataModelBuilder builder = new ODataConventionModelBuilder();
 builder.EntitySet<LoginEntityDto>("LoginEntityDto");

or you can use action to post this complex type as parameter. FYI: http://odata.github.io/WebApi/#04-07-action-parameter-support
