One way to think of what you asked to do is this: - an index page that requires login - another page with a place to login, if not logged in A simple way to do this is to add the "auth.requires_login()" decorator to your index controller function, which will force a login call. There are several ways you can manage how this looks: one is by customizing the user.html page in views/default to be what you are referring to as your Home Page; another is to point auth() to get login form / action from your more involved controller function, which also has your home page (and login form, of course).
