+==== Prevent the Request From Being Saved
+
+There are a number of reasons you may want to not store the user's unauthenticated request in the session.
+You may want to offload that storage onto the user's browser or store it in a database.
+Or you may want to shut off this feature since you always want to redirect the user to the home page instead of the page they tried to visit before login.
+
+To do that, you can use {security-api-url}org/springframework/security/web/savedrequest/NullRequestCache.html[the `NullRequestCache` implementation].
