Hi Martin
Use:
https://blackboard.MYINST.ac.uk/webapps/login?action=guest_login&new_loc=ENCODEDURL
If you raise a ticket to bb and ask them about #02440792 that is the ticket where they told us how to do this.
We now have a script to make authenticated/guest deeplinks on our web site:

See also the general guide here:

Subject: Deep Linking to Blackboard Tab
Hi,
We're trying to link to one of our tabs from external sources. It's been set up for guest access, but when guests/logged out users use the link they are directed to our welcome/login page.
The usual method I would use to deep link to a course isn't working. Guests are directed to the login page. If they click the link again the page displays as expected, but it needs to load Bb for the first time to initiate, which obviously isn't a great user experience.
Any suggestions welcome!
Regards,
Martin
