Upon authentication, redirect the user to

http://www.example.com/goto?session_id=XXXXX&redirect_to=https://XXXXX

where goto is a simple CGI script that sets a session cookie (if a session id is supplied) then redirects to the specified page.

Update: You probably want make sure you only redirect to pages you own to prevent your site from being using as an anonymiser.
