MVC Forms LoginUrl is incorrect

Question

I have an ASP.NET MVC 3 application with forms authentication. For some reason that I cannot see, the login redirect url is /Account/Login?ReturnUrl=%2fSecure%2fAction

Answer 1

I just ran into this issue (like 6 years later and this page doesn't rank high in searches anymore...) my fix was similar to santiagoIT.

Because I added authentication to a project that didn't previously have it I pretty much "cheated" by copying required authentication code from a default project template which included:

app.UseCookieAuthentication(new CookieAuthenticationOptions
        {
            AuthenticationType = DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie,
            LoginPath = new PathString("/Account/Login"), 
            Provider = new CookieAuthenticationProvider
            {
                OnValidateIdentity = SecurityStampValidator.OnValidateIdentity(
                    validateInterval: TimeSpan.FromMinutes(30),
                    regenerateIdentity: (manager, user) => user.GenerateUserIdentityAsync(manager))
            }
        });

The forms authentication url was using web.config for all my aspx pages but bombed when I added the Authorize attribute.

Changing the LoginPath fixed my issue.
