*auth.is_logged_in()* will return a bool object. True for authenticated
user and I belive *auth.user_id* attribute is None for the non
authenticated user. *auth *being the Auth class instance created by the
welcome scaffolding application.
You could use the returned values to catch unsuccessful authentication and
redirect to the correct action
There is an Auth setting for failed authentication (for example, it's
possible to call a function on failed login)
("Settings and Messages", web2py book 4th edition, 9.3.7)
auth.settings.on_failed_authentication = lambda url: redirect(url)
