How to fix LoginPath not working in ASP.NET Core

If your LoginPath
is not working in ASP.NET Core, there could be a few reasons why it's not functioning as expected. Here's a step-by-step approach to troubleshoot and potentially solve the issue:
By default, if you don't configure it's automatically redirect to "/Account/Login?RedirectUrl=%2F"
Verify that you have correctly configured the LoginPath
property in your authentication middleware setup.
Opening your Startup class, then add a configuration as shown below.
services.ConfigureApplicationCookie(options => { options.LoginPath = new PathString("/Identity/Account/Login"); options.ReturnUrlParameter = "RedirectUrl"; options.LogoutPath = new PathString("/Identity/Account/Lockout"); options.AccessDeniedPath = new PathString("/Identity/Account/AccessDenied"); options.ExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromDays(1); });
Make sure that the LoginPath
is set to the correct path where your login page is located.
If you've updated from beta 5 to beta 8, you can't set the custom login path in cookie authentication options.
services.AddCookieAuthentication(config => { config.LoginPath = new PathString("Auth/Login"); });
You will still gets redirected to the default '/Account/Login'. To solve the problem, you can do this a bit differently.
services.Configure<IdentityOptions>(options=> { options.Cookies.ApplicationCookie.LoginPath = new PathString("/Auth/Login"); });
Ensure that the route specified in the LoginPath
matches the route configuration in your application. If your login page is located at /Account/Login
, make sure that you have defined a corresponding route for it.
Instead of use services.AddAuthentication().AddCookie
services.AddAuthentication().AddCookie(options => { options.LoginPath = "/Identity/Account/Login"; options.ExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromDays(1); });
