This question about Authentication or Authorisation: Task closed
Loginpage doesn't redirect Name-Links
Topics which need authentication automatically are redirected to after authentication.
But if the URL contains Name-Links as in
http://foswiki.org/Sandbox/MySandboxHome#Bla the link itself is followed, but the Name-link is dropped. Our clients have some heavily overloaded topics with many headings they refer to directly from other opics or from mails. When linking by mail, most users are asked for their password - and are directed to the top of the topic, what was not the intention.
Answer
The redirect mechanism currently does not support anchor links. There is a task outstanding:
Tasks.Item446.
