Drupal redirect to homepage after login

Question

context : I have a drupal website that is only accessible to logged in users.

Expected behavior

I send this link to my client: mywebsite/path/to/mypage

My client click on the link, it redirects him to the loggin page and then redirect to mywebsite/path/to/mypage

Current behavior

I send this link to my client: mywebsite/path/to/mypage
My client click on it, he get redirected to the loggin page and then gets redirected to the homepage mywebsite

Research

My guess is that it's coming from .htaccess but I haven't touched it.
I tried a fresh new install of both drupal and apache and got the exact same behavior

Answer 1

This module allows you to choose a redirect path after login: https://www.drupal.org/project/redirect_after_login

OR

you can define a query parameters?destination in your url. Drupal use it to redirect to the page of your choice, example: mywebsite/path/to/mypage?destination=/path/to/mypage
