When staff assignment is configured with a cluster and the node the user connects to is not active SA will take the log in then redirect to the Active node and force a second log in.  This happens as well for user and admin pages, but Staff Assignment is (for us) the first page we have handed out to users.

The redirection to the active node should occur before the login and thereby elimanate the need to login twice.

As it is today if I don't change the link for every fail-over staff would refuse to use the product.  To quote one of my SA users: "It is completely unacceptable to have people login to the system a second time. There is really no model where that would be acceptable."
