The following is a survey of Google login urls (because I couldn't find it documented). I'm trying to find the best way to point people to a particular service with a particular account, minimizing possible multi-account confusion. There is no one answer, but here are some recommendations: * <code><nowiki>https://</nowiki>drive.google.com/a/<var>domain</var></code> * <code><nowiki>https://</nowiki>accounts.google.com/AccountChooser?continue=<var>targetURL</var></code> ==accounts.gooogle.com== {| class="wikitable" |+ Google (not apps) ! rowspan="2" | url ! colspan="3" | Accounts logged in ! rowspan="2" | notes |- ! none !! one !! both |- | https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin | standard blank login | Password prompt (with option to "Sign in with a different account") | Password prompt, for account logged in longest | From any Google service, is the url forwarded to or provided by the "Sign in" button. |- | https://accounts.google.com/AccountChooser | Forwards to "ServiceLogin" | "Choose an account" dialog, with account listed and "Add account" option | "Choose an account" dialog, with account'''''s''''' listed and "Add account" option | Target of standard login page "Sign in with a different account" option |- | https://accounts.google.com/AddSession | Forwards to "ServiceLogin" | standard blank login | standard blank login | Target of "Add account" option on standard "AccountChooser" page |} To '''go to a particular Google service after loggin in''', just add the "continue" parameter with a url encoded target url. ==Google Apps== Can we gain usability be using Google App urls? Google App urls are often Google service urls with "<code>/a/<var>domain</var></code>" after the domain (e.g. <code><nowiki>https://</nowiki>drive.google.com/a/example.org</code>). What's a survey of those look like? {| class="wikitable" |+ Google Apps ! rowspan="2" | url ! colspan="3" | Accounts logged in |- ! none !! other !! both |- | <nowiki>https://</nowiki>www.google.com/a/<var>domain</var>/ServiceLogin | Domain login | Domain login | Standard password prompt prepopulated with domain account (forwards to <code><nowiki>https://</nowiki>accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?authuser=<var>sessionNumber</var></code>) |- | <nowiki>https://</nowiki>www.google.com/a/<var>domain</var>/AccountChooser | Regular login | Regular AccountChooser Choosing a non-domain account does nothing (returns to original AccountChooser unchanged). Choosing "Add account" forwards to AddSession | Forwards to Admin for domain (UserHub) |- | <nowiki>https://</nowiki>www.google.com/a/<var>domain</var>/AddSession | Regular login | Regular AccountChooser Choosing a non-domain account does nothing (returns to original AccountChooser unchanged). Choosing "Add account" forwards to AddSession | Forwards to Admin for domain (UserHub) |- | <nowiki>https://</nowiki>admin.google.com/a/<var>domain</var> | Regular login | Regular AccountChooser | Admin for domain |- | <nowiki>https://</nowiki>drive.google.com/a/<var>domain</var> | Domain login | Old style account chooser (<code><nowiki>https://</nowiki>www.google.com/a/SelectSession</code>) | Drive for domain |- | <nowiki>https://</nowiki>groups.google.com/a/<var>domain</var> | Groups for domain (though not branded) | Groups for domain | Groups for domain, but with practically random account |} The following don't work: * www and naked forward to admin * accounts forwards to Apps marketing page
