@terranmoccasin 's answer is correct. However there is a common need very few examples address.

Let's say you need to secure several routes (dashboard1, dashboard2, ...). How do you redirect back to the original page once you log in successfully? In other words, what do you do with {nextPathname: nextState.location.pathname}?

Here's what I do in ./containers/LoginContainer.js:

import { push } from 'react-router-redux';
const mapStateToProps = (state) => ({
  nextPathname: state.routing.locationBeforeTransitions.state.nextPathname,
});
const mapDispatchToProps = (dispatch) => ({
  changeLocationOnSignIn: (nextPathname) => {
    dispatch(push(nextPathname));
  },
});

and in ./components/Login.js

componentWillReceiveProps(nextProps) {
  // user signed in or signed up, assuming redux. you may use this elsewhere.
  if (nextProps.user.status === 'authenticated' && nextProps.user.user &&
     !nextProps.user.error) {
       this.props.changeLocationOnSignIn(this.props.nextPathname);
  }

React-router 2.4.0 (April 2016) introduced withRouter which creates a HOC. However it wraps React.createClass, not a JS class. I haven't been able to get it working with redux-form, etc. Besides I think the above code is easier to comprehend.
