DotNetNuke: load data in session at login time

Question

I'm using DNN 5. When a user logs in, I want to load some data into the session. Where should I add my code? Should I intervene into the login.aspx's code behind?

Answer 1

The solutions seems to be writing a custom authentication provider.

Answer 2

One option would be to set the page the users sees upon login and add a custom module to that page. That would get you out of writing an authentication provider.
