Permanent Link for »LogIn-Screen«

1 Initial Problem

The login screen cannot be addressed very well as it does not have a permanent link.

Our users learn again and again that URLs cannot simply be taken from the address bar of the browser and then sent.
However, the direct link to the login screen of an installation is a helpful means of guiding people. This is especially the case for installations that have a public area.

2 Conceptual Summary

The LogIn-Screen gets its own permanent link.

Based on ./go/usr/registration, this could be set to ./go/usr/login  .
