I got it dear. Thanks very much. I opened up the Auth component and digested it myself (Afterall, its just another component written by a brother of mine, lol).
I then discovered that the session variable for storing the intended url is 'Auth.redirect', so I leveraged on it by checking it and redirecting there if it exists, otherwise, I redirect to my own default user role page. Its working like breeze! THANK YOU.
