title: Can a user click a login hyperlink?
body: <p>I can log a user out of my MVC Core application as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public IActionResult Logout()
  {
      return SignOut("Cookies", "oidc");
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Identity server is called and the user is logged out as expected.  Is it possible to log a user in by specifying a link? I realise the user will be automatically forwarded if they access a secure area of the website.  However, is it possible for the user to say themselves that they wish to login (the return url would be the homepage i.e. home/Index).</p>
  
  <p>I have spent the last hour researching this.  I have found lots of examples explaining how to logout explicitly, however I have not found an example, which shows how to login explicitly.</p>
