Thanks.

There is a fairly detailed discussion in github about Nuxt having an issue with a redirect when you are hitting a protected page directly. The redirect goes to the default page redirect rather than the previously hit page. The correct behavior should be to store the redirect and then proceed to it after authentication (login) with correct credentials.

3 days ago (Apr 14, 2019), MathiasCiarlo submitted a PR on the auth-module repo to fix this. The base reason why the redirect was "lost" has to do with the state of the redirect value not being allowed to be set as a cookie in SSR mode. His code impacts the storage.js file, in particular the setCookie() method. I've included that changed method here just for reference.

setCookie (key, value, options = {}) {
    if (!this.options.cookie) {
      return
    }

    const _key = this.options.cookie.prefix + key

    const _options = Object.assign({}, this.options.cookie.options, options)

    if (isUnset(value)) {
      Cookies.remove(_key, _options)
    } else {

      // Support server set cookies
      if (process.server) {
        this.ctx.res.setHeader('Set-Cookie', [_key + '=' + value])
      } else {
        Cookies.set(_key, value, _options)
      }
    }

    return value
  }

I've personally just altered my npm myself, but you could probably fork the repo and use that forked npm for the time being. Or you could wait until the PR is merged into the mainline of the auth-module repo.
