Try this in your pages.xml:

<page view-id="*">
  <navigation from-action="#{identity.logout}">
  <redirect view-id=""/>
  </navigation>
</page>

both the above snippets don't seem to work. Any other solution?

Try writing this:

<event type="org.jboss.seam.security.loginSuccessful">
  <action execute="#{redirect.returnToCapturedView}"/>
</event>

Instead of this:

<event type="org.jboss.seam.security.postAuthenticate">
  <action execute="#{redirect.returnToCapturedView}"/>
</event>

In your components.xml file.

I have already tried that too. and it doesn't work either.

First of all:

• are those pages that require authentication have login-required=true set ?
• what did you put in pages.xml for login-page= ?
• how do you authenticate ? -basic or with IdentityManager ? (just to make sure that the seam authentication events are triggered)
• do you also have this event registered in your components.xml ?
  
  

       <event type="org.jboss.seam.security.notLoggedIn">

           <action execute="#{redirect.captureCurrentView}"/>

       </event>

And btw, you only need these 2 events (for auto redirecting) in components.xml:

    <!-- Events  -->

   <event type="org.jboss.seam.security.notLoggedIn">

      <action execute="#{redirect.captureCurrentView}"/>

   </event>

   <event type="org.jboss.seam.security.loginSuccessful">

      <action execute="#{redirect.returnToCapturedView}"/>

   </event>
