[CLOSED] application not working after using form authentication ( MVC 4 )

After adding the authentication and authorization in the web config, events has stopped working and I see page is doing a full postback. I tried fiddler but nothing found. If I remove the authorization and authentication it works fine. I have added the followinf line in the global.ascx as well and does not work also DirectEventSubmit event is never fired as page performs a postback.

Also we have routes.IgnoreRoute("{exclude}/{extnet}/ext.axd");

Code:

protected void Application_AuthenticateRequest(object sender, EventArgs e) { string url = HttpContext.Current.Request.FilePath; if (url.EndsWith("ext.axd")) { HttpContext.Current.SkipAuthorization = true; } }

Web.config

LoginController.cs

Code:

using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Web; using System.Web.Mvc; using Compensation.UI.Controllers.Base; using Core.Framework.Model.DesktopModel.Login; using Ext.Net; using Ext.Net.MVC; namespace Compensation.UI.Controllers { public class LoginController : Controller { public ActionResult Login() { return View(); } [HttpPost] public ActionResult DirectEventSubmit(LoginModel person) { X.Msg.Alert("Submit", JSON.Serialize(person)).Show(); return this.Direct(); } } }

Login.cshtml

Code:

@model Core.Framework.Model.DesktopModel.Login.LoginModel @{ ViewBag.Title = "Login"; } @(Html.X().ResourceManager() .CleanResourceUrl(false) ) @section Content { @( Html.X().Window() .Title("Submit") .Width(250) .Height(220) .Layout(LayoutType.Fit) .Closable(false) .Border(false) .Items( Html.X().FormPanel() .ID("FormPanel1") .Frame(true) .DefaultAnchor("100%") .BodyPadding(6) .FieldDefaults(def => { def.MsgTarget = MessageTarget.Side; }) .Items( Html.X().TextFieldFor(m => m.UserName), Html.X().TextFieldFor(m => m.Password), Html.X().TextFieldFor(m => m.CompanyId) ) ) .Buttons( Html.X().Button() .Text("Login") .DirectEvents(de => { de.Click.Url = Url.Action("DirectEventSubmit"); de.Click.EventMask.ShowMask = true; de.Click.FormID = "FormPanel1"; }) ) ) }

I guess that ASP.NET redirects you to login page because anonymous access to DirectEventSubmit is forbidden
I don't see where you handle authorization (doing 'FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage' or 'FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie' or something else)
You can try to rename DirectEventSubmit to Login (the same name as view action, just with onther arguments)
Or you can try to allow anonymous access to whole login controller (or DirectEventSubmit action only)

Thank you Vladimir, the issue is how can i set the form authentication auth cookie when authentication has not happened. Can you please provide a small sample. Works if I am not using ext.net thought.

Thank you

Please see my previous answer
