In order to determine which ads to serve, Google's ad bot will need to be able to reach the content. If the ad bot is redirected to a login page or otherwise unable to retrieve the page, then you can't include ads on it.
Added:
That is one of the advantages Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft have with their e-mail services. If you don't own your own advertising network, you can't easily include contextual ads on a page with a user's e-mail.
Same with Ajax. Google can put ads on Ajax pages, and update them as the pages' content changes. You and I can't do that. Google raised the ante with Ajaxified pages, but the playing field is in their favor, as they can monetize the pages while you can't.

Bottom line:
It's not a good idea and won't work properly.
