How your pages.xml login page is configured? Does it have login-required="false"? like: | <page view-id="/login.xhtml" action="#{identity.login}" login-required="false"> | <navigation from-action="#{identity.login}"> | <rule if="#{identity.loggedIn}"> | <redirect view-id="/home.xhtml"/> | </rule> | </navigation> | </page> | BTW, you can invoke to any action you want when the page is loaded and then use the rules in order to forward to any page you want.
