Login Page Links Behave Inconsistently: "Browser Kerberos setup" Opens in Same Tab While "FreeIPA website" Opens New Tab

[agavali9]

Observed Behavior: On the FreeIPA login page, the two external/informational links exhibit different target behaviors when clicked: 1. "Browser Kerberos setup" link: Redirects the current browser tab to the configuration page (/ipa/modern-ui/browser-config). 2. "FreeIPA website" link: Opens the external website in a new browser tab/window.
Expected Behavior: For consistency and to prevent users from losing their current login session/page, both informational links should ideally open their respective destinations in a new browser tab/window (using the target="_blank" attribute).
Steps to Reproduce:

1. Navigate to the FreeIPA login page (https://machine2.webui.ftd/ipa/modern-ui/login).
2. Click the "Browser Kerberos setup" link.
3. Observe that the current login page is replaced by the setup page.
4. Go back to the login page and click the "FreeIPA website" link. 5. Observe that the website opens in a new tab, leaving the login page intact.

The issue you're observing is likely an inconsistency in link behavior (target window), which is a common usability bug, rather than an incorrect redirection. The links are redirecting to the correct destinations but are not opening in the same manner.

It would probably help to add an icon that hints the links will open in a different window/tab.
