autoLoginAfterAccountActivation and postLoginRedirect Can these things work together? Right now, after verification I am being redirected to the dashboard (/gistApp) instead of being routed through /actions/gistClient/loginControl where I have some user business logic. I know that /actions/gistClient/loginControl works because I can direct navigate to that URL.

Here is my general.php

return array(
 'omitScriptNameInUrls' =&gt; true,
  'loginPath' =&gt; '/gistapp/login',
  'setPasswordSuccessPath' =&gt; '/gistapp/login' ,
  'purgePendingUsersDuration' =&gt; 'P2M',
  'devMode' =&gt; true,
  'autoLoginAfterAccountActivation' =&gt; true,
  'postLoginRedirect' =&gt; '/actions/gistClient/loginControl',
  'enableCsrfProtection' =&gt; true,
  'csrfTokenName' =&gt; 'cranberryCsrfToken',
);
If the user being registered has access to the control panel, then you'll want to set the postCpLoginRedirect config setting as well.

Update:

Looks like this was a bug and the same problem as this one.  Should be fixed for the next release.

Update 2:

Officially fixed in 2.2 build 2598.
