Redirect to login instead of Access Denied message

Several pages in CS 2008 that require that the user is logged in present an Access Denied message instead of redirecting the user to the login page with a ReturnUrl.  One example is to click "Message Board Subscriptions" from the forums right nav while not logged in.

How can I force a redirection to the login page rather than an Access Denied message?

Access Denied

You do not have permissions to perform the requested action.

I changed this throughout my site by replacing every instance of this:

<Actions><CSControl:GoToMessageAction runat="server" MessageType="AccessDenied" /></Actions>

<Actions>
    <CSControl:GoToSiteUrlAction runat="server" UrlName="login">
            <Parameter1Template><CSControl:ModifiedUrl runat="server" RenderRawUrl="true" Encoding="URL" /></Parameter1Template>
    </CSControl:GoToSiteUrlAction>
</Actions>

Does this seem ok?  Are there any instances where I would not want my user to be redirected back to the denied resource after logging in?

Thanks,
Graham

Yes,that seems okay.  As long as these resources are not user-specific (have user information in the URL), this implementation should be fine.
