    <p>I need to be able to call the built-in [HttpPost] Logon method (in the Account Controller) from a GET request. Basically, a new account would be assigned a temporary password, delivered via email. The user clicks on the link in the email (containing a userid and temp pw in the URL), which would be handled in the account controller in the MVC app. I'm not sure how to handle this. Is it possible to redirect from a GET action method on the controller, to the POST logon action method? How would this be done while maintaining the HttpContext object? It seems that this wouldn't be doable outside of just creating a new GET logon method with the user and pw strings params and recreating the logic (using MembershipServer and FormsService objects) that's in the POST method.</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> For anyone following this post, the solution I wound up implementing is:</p> <ul> <li>Using @Shyju's recommendation in a comment, I created a new GET action method to respond to the email link, that returns a "Register New User" view containing hidden inputs for the passed user\pw and a submit button.</li> <li>The view posts back to the normal logon method. If the user or pw has not been altered, the user will be authenticated</li> <li>I added a global action filter that tests for the user object property "MustChangePassword". If true, it redirects to the change password action method. This will happen for any method of any controller, except the account controller (so you can actually hit the logon, chg pw, and other methods)</li> <li>Then in the "ChangePassword" POST method, a successful pw change will reset the "MustChangePassword" property to false.</li> </ul>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
