VS2013 ASP.NET MVC Separate Application Template Page Automatic Redirection

Question

The default SPA template in ASP.NET in Visual Studio 2013 provides us with a default website template. However, this template does not allow you to see the page / Main page / Index and is automatically redirected to / Account / Login. Now I want to use this nice feature, but not on my home page.

I tried the following:

• comments on Authorize attribute
• adding AllowAnonymous, OverrideAuthentication, etc. in sequence.

//[Authorize] [AllowAnonymous] [OverrideAuthentication] public class HomeController : Controller { [OverrideAuthentication] [AllowAnonymous] public ActionResult Index() { return View(); } } 

But he still redirects me to

http://example.com-00-009838/Account/Login?ReturnUrl=%2FAccount%2FAuthorize%3Fclient_id%3Dweb%26response_type%3Dtoken%26state%3D

whenever i go to

http://example.com-00-009838/Home/Index

How can I prevent this?

Answer 1

First remove the Authorize attribute from the main controller

 //[Authorize] public class HomeController : Controller 

Then in /Views/Home/Index.cshtml delete the SPA logic (I commented on it):

 @section SPAViews { @Html.Partial("_Home") } @section Scripts{ @* @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/knockout") @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/app") *@ } 

Basically, what you are doing is making the homepage the plain old MVC page, which I assume you want to do.

Then you can go to the new page where your SPA application will be placed (and it is required that the user is signed up).

Answer 2

In your controller:

 //[Authorize] public class HomeController : Controller 

In your knockout model

 app.addViewModel({ name: "Home", bindingMemberName: "home", factory: HomeViewModel, // add this line only if you require authorization, remove or set to false in your home view model authorize: true }); 

And finally, in your application presentation model:

 self[options.bindingMemberName] = ko.computed(function () { if (options.authorize && !dataModel.getAccessToken()) { ... } return self.Views[options.name]; });
