Description: A redirect URI is a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) to which a user is sent after completing an authentication process. This mechanism is fundamental in the realm of web security, as it allows users to be directed to a specific page after successfully entering their credentials. The redirect URI not only enhances the user experience by facilitating a logical flow in navigation but is also crucial for maintaining session integrity and information security. For example, after a user logs into a web application, they may be redirected to their personal profile or the main page of the service. Redirect URIs are commonly used in web applications where users are required to authenticate before accessing restricted content. Additionally, these URIs can include parameters that allow the application to remember the user’s original location before authentication, facilitating a smoother and more personalized experience.
