Login Page Not Reached

ASP.NET Maker General Discussion (ASP.NET Maker)

We use Windows Authentication and have enabled advanced security (we use the custom validate function to set the appropriate username to match our security table). In ASPM 2026 if a user browses to the root path (ex. http://server/aspnet/myproject) they receive an access denied error. If they instead directly go to the login page, they are correctly logged in.

I believe there may be an error in the index route of HomeController.cs (copied below with some comments).

// Index
[Route("", Name = "index")]
[AllowAnonymous]
public async Task<IActionResult> Index()
{
    //CurrentUser is null, IsLoggedIn is false
    await Security.LoginAsync();    //Just returns because there isn't a current user
    string url = "";
    var tableList = Config.UserLevelTables;
    for (var i = 0; i < tableList.Count; i++)
    {
        if (tableList[i].TableName == "Groups")
        {
            if (Security.AllowList(tableList[i].ProjectId + tableList[i].TableName))
            {
                url = tableList[i].Url;
                break;
            }
        }
        else if (url == "")
        {
            if (!Empty(tableList[i].Url) && Security.AllowList(tableList[i].ProjectId + tableList[i].TableName))
                url = tableList[i].Url;
        }
    }

    //url is still "" because we don't allow anonymous user access to tables
    //IsAuthenticated returns true because the user has authenticated with the web server (we are using windows authentication)
    if (url == "" && !IsAuthenticated())
    {
        url = "login";
    }
    if (url == "")
    {
        return StatusCode(401, DeniedMessage());
    }
    return new RedirectResult(AppPath(url), Config.RedirectPermanent);
}

I believe the if statement with !IsAuthenticated() should be !IsLoggedIn().

I believe the if statement with !IsAuthenticated() should be !IsLoggedIn()

Try changing the line and see if it works now.

It does. Is there a way I can override the function within the project or does it require a template update?

Try updating to the latest template (Tools -> Update Template).
