login redirect changed after using microsoft.web.helpers

Question

In an asp.net mvc3 website, I imported the microsoft.web.helpers, webmatrix.data, and webmatrix.webdata. After that, I have found that when I use the [Authorize] attribute

Answer 1

you can just delete WebMatrix.WebData.dll from you bin file

Answer 2

I ran into that same issue some time ago. I had added a 'deployable dependency' on 'ASP.NET Web Pages with Razor Syntax'. This adds a reference to: WebMatrix.Data.dll This assembly has a class with a static constructor that does the following:

static FormsAuthenticationSettings()
{ 
 FormsAuthenticationSettings.LoginUrlKey = "loginUrl";
 FormsAuthenticationSettings.DefaultLoginUrl = "~/Account/Login";
}

That explains! It will override whatever you had in your web.config.

Answer 3

To override use:

<configuration>
  <appSettings>
    <add key="loginUrl" value="~/Account/Logon" />
  </appSettings>
</configuration>
