You need to return a HttpResponseRedirect

You need to setup Django decorators and setup the settings for it to work. Here is a link for Django Decorators https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/decorators/

Add these to your settings.py:

LOGIN_URL = '/login/' LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = '/homepage/'

Just change the values according to your specifications. (/login/ and /homepage/ are URLs).

if you will use a default login handler - there is a default setting LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL.
