You don't need to change anything just make sure you have two different layouts one for login and one for other actions and everything will work fine.

This is happening because you are using same layout in Login.cshtml. To resolve this issue try this: 1. Create at location Shared --> _AnonymousLayout.cshtml > html lang = "en" > head > meta charset = "utf-8" /> meta name = "viewport" content = "width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" /> title > @ViewData["Title"] - WebApplication2 title > link rel = "stylesheet" href = "~/lib/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" /> link rel = "stylesheet" href = "~/css/site.css" /> head > body > header > nav class = "navbar navbar-expand-sm navbar-toggleable-sm navbar-light bg-white border-bottom box-shadow mb-3" > div class = "container" > a class = "navbar-brand" asp-area = "" asp-controller = "Home" asp-action = "Index" > WebApplication2 a > button class = "navbar-toggler" type = "button" data-toggle = "collapse" data-target = ".navbar-collapse" aria-controls = "navbarSupportedContent" aria-expanded = "false" aria-label = "Toggle navigation" > span class = "navbar-toggler-icon" > span > button > div class = "navbar-collapse collapse d-sm-inline-flex justify-content-between" > ul class = "navbar-nav flex-grow-1" > li class = "nav-item" > a class = "nav-link text-dark" asp-area = "" asp-controller = "Home" asp-action = "Index" > Home a > li > li class = "nav-item" > a class = "nav-link text-dark" asp-area = "" asp-controller = "Home" asp-action = "Privacy" > Privacy a > li > ul > div > div > nav > header > div class = "container" > main role = "main" class = "pb-3" > @RenderBody() main > div > footer class = "border-top footer text-muted" > div class = "container" > © 2021 - WebApplication2 - a asp-area = "" asp-controller = "Home" asp-action = "Privacy" > Privacy a > div > footer > script src = "~/lib/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js" > script > script src = "~/lib/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js" > script > script src = "~/js/site.js" asp-append-version = "true" > script > @await RenderSectionAsync("Scripts", required: false) body > html > 2. Add this in the beginning of Login.cshtml file: @{ Layout = "_AnonymousLayout" ; }

simply set the Login page as the startup page, for the rest of the application your Authorization module will work as expected. public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes) { routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}"); routes.MapRoute( name: "LoginStart", url: "", defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Login" } ); routes.MapRoute( name: "Default", url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}", defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } ); }

Add this code at the beginning of layout @{ if (!User.Identity.IsAuthenticated) { Context.Response.Redirect(Url.Action( "Login" , "Home" )); } }

Hi Varun I have different Layout for Login & Main Layout. I want before Main Layout opens it should be checked whether user is authenticated or not. If not then LOgin Page should open. Thanks

This worked for me. Note: Do not use same layout for Login @{ if (!User.Identity.IsAuthenticated) { Context.Response.Redirect(Url.Action( "Login" , "Home" )); // Login Page } }
