How to redirect to different page after login in APEX 4.1

Question

Dear All,
Here my Requirement is,When the users login,
when they entered their username and password and pressed login button,
they have to redirected to different pages based on the type of user.
Here my LOGIN_TABLE has following 3 columns,
1.Username
2.Password
3.Type.
The TYPE has 2 values, employee and admin.
when the type is admin they should be redirected to page 2,
reaining i.e employee users has to be redirected to page 3.
How can I do this? please give some suggestion.
Thank you.
regards,
Gurujothi

Dear Christian,
Thank you for your reply,
I would like to explain something,
When I using the following function,
*create or replace FUNCTION custom_auth_g (
p_username IN VARCHAR2,
p_password IN VARCHAR2)
RETURN BOOLEAN IS
BEGIN
FOR c1 IN (SELECT 1
FROM login_table
WHERE upper(username) = upper(p_username)
AND upper(password) = upper(p_password))
LOOP
RETURN TRUE;
END LOOP;
RETURN FALSE;
END;*
When login, It checks in the login_table table and if the username is exist with the pass word it successfully entered inside the application.
for all users only one page which we set.
My Login_table also contains type which has 2 type as I mentined above.
But As I mentioned earliar based on the user type it has to be redirected to 2 different page.
I found this Package but I cant understand,Can you please Explain?

And you said "assign an URL to FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL, depending on the Type column",
Where to assign,Could you please Explain?
Thank you.
