How to redirect user after authentication

Question

I have successfully created a custom registration page in joomla 2.5 and based on the user type i want to redirect the users to different views after log in. How can i achieve this? Do i need to create an Authentication plugin or a custom log in module?

Thanks

What about the non-commercial "Redirect on Login" extension: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/access-a-security/site-access/login-redirect/15257 which redirects users on login based on access level/user group or a similar extension in the Login Redirect category in JED: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/access-a-security/site-access/login-redirect
