Loggin in on the fly

[Lee]

Hello all,

I have a question about logging in users. Let's say that my website
sends an email to a person with a link to go directly to a particular
part of the site.

The user must be logged in, in order to go to that particular portion
of the site. What is the common methodology for having them "pitstop"
to the login page before continuing to the linked page?

Thanks for any advice.

Lee,

If you use the built in login component it works like this:

User attempts to go to a page that is restricted to logged in users - page
redirects to login along with a querystring return parameter so that the
user is autmatically redirected back to the original page after login.
