      Issue Summary

      When attempting to access TinyURL links from a page as an unauthenticated user, there is a buggy behavior that results in being redirected to an incorrect URL and receiving an error message instead of being prompted to log in. 

      Steps to Reproduce

      1- Click on the Copy link button

      2- Or via the new Share dialog , then on Copy link

      2- As an unauthenticated user (open your browser's incognito tab), paste the copied link into the browser's address bar.

      3- Press Enter to navigate to the URL.

      Expected Results

      The user should be redirected and prompted to login to access the content.

      Actual Results

      The user is redirected to a page's URL with an incorrect/random space key and sees the error message: "We couldn't find what you're looking for".

       

      Accessing the same TinyURL again will generate another incorrect/random space key in the redirected URL.

      Workaround

      As a workaround, you should share the actual page's URL with users. If they are not authenticated yet, they will be prompted to log in.
