ASP.NET MVC 5 (Visual Studio 2013 Preview) Change Login Address for [Authorize]

Hi guys, I started playing with ASP.NET MVC 5 preview and everything went well (I can only recommend it).

However I am wondering where can I set the Login-Url for the built-in [Authorize]

-Attribute. I have moved AccountController

to scope, so the path to the Login action is no longer /Account/Login

but MyArea/Account/Login

, which is ignored by the [Authorize]

-Attribute, which in turn means that whenever one navigates to a controller or action with the attribute set, one is redirected to the wrong path /Account/Login

.

Look web.config

for a section like this:

<authentication mode="Forms">
  <forms loginUrl="~/Account/LogOn" timeout="2880" />
</authentication>


Change the value loginUrl

to point to the updated login page.

When using the new OWIN forms authentication (as opposed to the old ASP.NET forms authentication) this is set in the class Startup

. In default templates, it is in App_Start/Startup.Auth.cs

the method ConfigureAuth

:



public void ConfigureAuth(IAppBuilder app)
{
   app.UseCookieAuthentication(new CookieAuthenticationOptions
   {
      AuthenticationType = DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie,
      LoginPath = new PathString("/Account/Login")
   });
   app.UseExternalSignInCookie(DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ExternalCookie);
}
