The user makes a selection from this list and then presses the login button. They will then be launched straight into the landing page for Katello with the org switcher presenting the selected org. They will of course be able to switch orgs they have access to or choose the 'Manage Org' link at the bottom of the org switcher.

'Manage Organizations' within the Org switcher will link up to this page.

Yeah, that's close to what I was thinking.  This will be fine.  I think 
we should do "Login" (instead of next) still, but have the login-2 be a 
step before finally logging in.  I'm very happy with this approach.
