Description
pascal gehl (Migrated from SEC-2972) said:
In our project we use switchUserFilter to allow site administrator to impersonate end-users (sudo).
Very often an admin has to sudo multiple users in succession.
We'd like to be able to configure a path (page allowing selection of users to sudo to) to redirect the admin user when it exists the "sudo mode".

Research direction
Start by locating SwitchUserFilter and its existing exit-from-sudo handling, then inspect any related tests. The work is complete when the filter accepts a configurable exitTargetUrl and redirects to that path when the administrator exits sudo mode.
