I also had a redirect loop which resulted in the error message The request filtering module is configured to deny a request where the query string is too long. for a Visual Studio 2013 Web Site where Authentication was set to Individual User Accounts.

The requested URL was a long version of http://localhost:52266/Account/Login?ReturnUrl=%2FAccount%2FLogin%3FReturnUrl%3D%252FAccount%252FLogin%253FReturnUrl.... so it was obviously continually redirecting to the login page and appending the return URL each time.

No amount of of breakpoints in an attempt to find the offending loop seemed to make a difference, as none were triggered.

In the end I did the following:

• Find the project properties. Do this by selecting the project (not solution) and see the Properties window (don't right-click then choose Properties, otherwise you won't find it).
• Set Anonymous Authentication to Enabled.
• Set Windows Authentication to Disabled.

When starting the project the default page should now appear and breakpoints you have added should start working.
