If a user tries to access an area of the site that requires authentication you can check a session variable to see if they have logged in yet. If so, show them their name at the top of the page from a session variable you have stored during the login process. If they have not logged in you can grab the page they requested and store that in a session variable while you are redirecting them to your login page. Upon a successful login you store the userid/username and then redirect them to the page they originally requested.
