The best method is to just use a link on the main page (no login required) to the control panel page, then have them logon there. If you want them to logon to the main page and then be able to link to other pages (including the control panel page) without further logon dialogs, simply use the same domain identifier in the .htaccess files on all relevant pages. Then once a login has been done (in a single session), it will be effective for all pages with the same domain.
