Frederic Wenzel commented on MNT-1545:
--------------------------------------

Good call. That's a relatively easy thing to do but it would add an awful lot of flexibility for module writers.

Whoever implements it, keep in mind that Maintain has to react to changing login behavior, i.e. if a module does a header redirect, Maintain must not spoil it.

Another interesting issue is, what is going to happen if two modules try to do a redirect. That would result in undefined behavior which is always a bad idea.

We might instead add a filter hook to Maintain's redirect command and allow modules to overwrite the destination of it. Modules could then play with it and delete each other's changes to the URL but not break the whole software.

> There needs to be a hook added to the login page to handle "on auth" type of functionality.  This would be used for the re-written autoreg and other modules dependent upon an authenticated user needing to go somewhere other than the index based on a set of criteria.
