Asp.net core Identity successful login redirecting back to login page

Question

I have a problem where the asp.net identity framework is redirecting the user back to the login page after they have logged in successfully.

This is using the stand

I tried many suggestions and finally what worked for me was: First, in your ConfigureServices class within "Startup.cs" add this

services.AddMvc().AddMvcOptions(Mvcoption => {
            Mvcoption.EnableEndpointRouting = false;
        });

The above code should come after this:

services.AddAuthentication(CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)
                .AddCookie(options =>
                {
                    options.LoginPath = "/Home/Login";


                });

Just in case you don't have the above two codes, try including them in your mvc application. Then you can go ahead and add these in your Configure method.

app.UseAuthentication();
        app.UseMvc();

Hope it works now.

Happy coding!
