No. What I want to do is allow the user to log on from a link. He will go
into the logon page.

The next page he goes to will require him to logon again, since he didn't go
through the normal FormsAuthentication mechanism that sets the cookie. This
would be irritating. I want to be able to set the cookie manually, if this
is the case.
