When the user accesses this URL using their browser, the authentication subsystem detects the presence of a token and attempts to verify it. If a suitable shared key was configured on the receiving system, and if the token could be decrypted and is not too old, then authentication succeeds, suitable cookies are created and returned, and the user is redirected to the main page for the given application.
If the token is invalid, the user is shown the classic login form, with a suitable error message.

If you need to direct the user to a particular page rather than their Default page/Dashboard you can extend the authentication URL with "redirect_url="  for example with the token above we can direct someone directly to the topn page as follows:

Once someone is authenticated the first time they have suitable cookies and standard URLs without the token strings work fine (until the time out is reached of course).  You will want to consider how the user is handled to re-authenticate them if the session expires.
