thats not what the OP said

clarification was needed (its why I asked)since thats not what the OP
said

If someone try to access site "A" directory, I want it redirected to
site
"B" for login. After login at site "B", you see the link to site"A".
When
you click it, you see login page for site "A".
it reminds me of stealing credentials - using xss, dont know whats on
the OPs mind really,
it can be done without encryption, sure - I was having fun, lets see
what the users problem actually is

hardly! just form, some js, and a couple of scripts! not quantum
physics this stuff!
overcomplicated sure, this isnt a hard problem, but whats wrong with
having a little fun, just a quick server-server connection, together
with sessions, but the method used above will work whatever the user
wants
