  Problems with routing the default identity pages in an ASP.NET Core with Razor app

  Sep 25, 2019 06:02 PM|Angius|LINK

  I'm having trouble with login in ASP.NET Core 3.0 app.

  Essentially, I want the login page to be at

  mywebsite.com/login
  

  instead of

  mywebsite.com/SomerandomRoute/SomeMore/WhyNot/MakeTheUrl/EvenLonger/Identity/Cookies/DefaultIdentity/Pages/Sections/Defaults/Identity/LoginRouteController
  

  as is the default. So I added @page "/login" to the identity login's .cshtml file, and it works when clicking "log in" in the top nav.

  Thing is, with that alone, redirecting from protected pages doesn't work. As in, if I'm not logged in and go to the account settings URL, I get redirected to the default abomination of an URL instead of /login. And that route doesn't exist now.

  In my 2.2 app I could just

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

  and it would work, but in this 3.0 app it breaks login completely. Submitting the login form just redirects to index and the user isn't logged in.

  Hi Angius,

  You could configure your CookieAuthenticationOptions like below:

  services.AddDbContext<ApplicationDbContext>(options =>
      options.UseSqlServer(
          Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection")));
  
  services.AddDefaultIdentity<IdentityUser>(options => options.SignIn.RequireConfirmedAccount = true)
      .AddEntityFrameworkStores<ApplicationDbContext>();
  services.PostConfigure<CookieAuthenticationOptions>(IdentityConstants.ApplicationScheme,
          opt =>
          {
              //configure your other properties
              opt.LoginPath = "/login";
          });
  services.AddControllersWithViews();
  services.AddRazorPages();

  Solved. Using

  services.AddAuthentication(CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)
      .AddCookie(options =>
      {
          options.LoginPath = "/login";
          options.AccessDeniedPath = "/login";
      });

  seems to have fixed the issue.
