[GH-1092] Redirect the user to correct URL after login (#1094)

### Feature or Bugfix
- Feature


### Detail

- Code which uses session storage to redirect user to the correct URL 
- As the code only contains window path ( not the domain / entire link )
and also there are checks to see if the window path mostly comprises of
/ and alphanumeric it it robust from security stand point

### Relates
- #1092

fetching data from storage outside the application (e.g. a database, an
S3 bucket)? No
  - Is the input sanitized?
- What precautions are you taking before deserializing the data you
consume?
  - Is injection prevented by parametrizing queries?
  - Have you ensured no `eval` or similar functions are used?
- Does this PR introduce any functionality or component that requires
authorization? Yes
- How have you ensured it respects the existing AuthN/AuthZ mechanisms?
Yes
  - Are you logging failed auth attempts? N/A
- Are you using or adding any cryptographic features? No
