One way to achieve this functionality is to do URL rewriting.
In ASP.NET you write a class to implement the IHttpModule interface.
Attach an event handler to the HttpApplication object's BeginRequest
event. Inside the event handler you can determine who the user is, set
variables in the Context object to remember them (you can pull them
out during page processing), then do a Content.RewritePath to assign
an internal path to the resource. So the user may see
www.mycom.com/sue/default.aspx but this page doesn't actually exist.
You may internally be sending the runtime to process the request from
x:\wwwroot\userdefault.aspx.
You configure the new module into your application through an entry in
the <httpModules> section of web.config.
This technique is popular in a number of open source projects you can
look at (the Community Starter Kit at http://asp.net and .Text blog
engine). I'm sure with some searching you can find other references.
