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 multiaccount confusion.

accounts.gooogle.com

Google (not apps)
url Accounts logged in 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, but for which account (the first added?)? 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 accounts 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.

I think the answer is:

https://accounts.google.com/AccountChooser?continue=targetURL

Google Apps
