Is it possibly to use anything besides a 302 re-direct when your doing a re-direct for someone to login?

Hopefully this makes sense. So I am working on a site that uses a 302 re-direct for logins. As in it goes from a profile page to the login via a re-direct, most of the time I see sites use this as a meta refresh, but in this case I wasn't sure. Obviously when I run a crawl diagnostic I'm getting a lot of errors as in over 100. Now I know there is no link juice with this, but I was just wondering what other people thought on using 302's for logins?

Thanks

Since these parts of the site aren't anything a spider would be seeing anyway, it really doesn't matter how you get people to the next page.

I typically tell spiders not to even go to folders for things like accounts and checkout.

Yeah it would take me forever to get our tech people to do that though...I kind of thought it didn't matter, just good to have it confirmed. Thanks.
