I recently upgraded an ASP.Net project from MVC 3 to MVC 5, but wanted to keep our old login mechanism. However, when trying to access a restricted page, I was always redirected to\u00a0\/Account\/Login instead of\u00a0\/Account\/LogOn. I had already met that problem with MVC 3 and thus I had added the following line in my Web.config file:<\/p>\n

    <add key=\"LoginUrl\" value=\"~\/Account\/LogOn\" \/><\/pre>\n
I researched the matter and added some more stuff in the Web.config file according to the suggestions I found on stackoverflow.com and other forums:<\/span><\/p>\n
    <add key=\"PreserveLoginUrl\" value=\"true\" \/>\r\n    <add key=\"autoFormsAuthentication\" value=\"false\" \/>\r\n    <add key=\"enableSimpleMembership\" value=\"false\" \/><\/pre>\n
and\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
    <authentication mode=\"Forms\">\r\n      <forms loginUrl=\"~\/Account\/LogOn\" timeout=\"2880\" \/>\r\n      <!--<forms loginUrl=\"~\/SGAccount\/LogOn\" timeout=\"2880\"\/>-->\r\n    <\/authentication><\/pre>\n
However, all this did not help. I finally found the culprit by searching for “Login” in my source code. I found this in App_Start\\Startup.Auth.cs:<\/span><\/p>\n
app.UseCookieAuthentication(new CookieAuthenticationOptions\r\n            {\r\n                AuthenticationType = DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie,\r\n                LoginPath = new PathString(\"\/Account\/Login\")\r\n            });<\/pre>\n
I fixed the issue by replacing “\/Account\/Login” with “\/Account\/LogOn”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
