To tell the truth, I get a little confused by this logic myself. One possibility: suppose your ultimate destination after login is default/index in the user's domain. Go ahead and let login go there (I think it does by default), and inside that function do the domain redirect conditionally if http_host isn't already set to the user's domain. Another possibility: create a decorator along the lines of auth.requires_login that does a conditional redirect to set the domain. Keep in mind that you can use multiple decorators, so you can first check for login, and then for the correct domain. Then any function that requires a logged-in user can also check the subdomain and redirect if necessary.
