I don't really understand what you mean by saying URL's from 'outside' of ARS.. when you are using the URL from a browser, it is from IE so not an ARS client if that's what you mean? And yes it will redirect you in that case to the login page and after logging in take you directly to that request..

Will this " http://<web_server>/arsys/form/..." URL work from outside ARS? Including redirection to login page if user is not logged in? I saw that "ViewFormServlet" can be used as well: "http://<mid_tier_server>/arsys/servlet/ViewFormServlet?server=<server_nam e>&form=<form_name>&eid=<request_id>" How is it different? And I also found that to redirect user to a login page and then the specified request, the URL "http://<mid_tier_server>/arsys/shared/login.jsp?server=<server_name>&goto=< URL>" can be used. So I'm very confused now. Has anyone tried this specific scenario (link from outside ARS, with login page redirect if not logged in) and knows for certain the URL that'll work?

If you have a non default context path like Frank, then replace that with whatever you have..
