Title:
  Better login redirect in emails

Status in Mahara:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  (Bug 1856261 is an extension to this)

  On a multi-tenanted Mahara site, there can be many authentication
  methods in play. However, the link that people receive in
  notifications, e.g. to reply to forum posts or view their messages
  from other people is always the same and if not already logged in
  redirects them to the normal Mahara login page.

  Then people try to log in but fail as they don't have internal or LDAP
  auth but SAML, MNet or LTI or something else.

  Institution-specific redirects are needed to allow for the specifying
  of the login URL. Currently, this is only possible to set site wide.

  The site has the ability to set a variable in email links so that the
  institution is passed along for Mahara to determine the primary
  authentication method and if needed redirect to the appropriate login
  screen.
