Dave,
When you say management site, are you talking about manage.opensrs.net? If so, my advice would be to program to the API. Anyway, the behavior you describe (display of the login page) basically means that the opensrs manage script did not receive the cookie it was expecting. Unfortunately I can't help much there.
