You need a redirector with a shared data base keeping track of which
users are "logged in" or not.

Then on the first request from a user previously not "logged in", mark
the user as logged in, and send a temporary redirect to your welcome
page with the intended destination as a parameter.

Then at the server generating the welcome page, use the parameter to
construct a Refresh header for reloading the page, or JavaScript for
opening a new window.

But beware of non-browsers using your system.
