Setting the LoginPath not working int ASP.NET Core 2.0

[anester]

        services.ConfigureApplicationCookie(options =>
        {
            options.LoginPath = "/Login/Index";
            options.ReturnUrlParameter = "RedirectUrl";
            options.LogoutPath = "/Login/Logout";
            options.AccessDeniedPath = "/Login/Index";
            options.ExpireTimeSpan = new TimeSpan(0, 15, 0);

        });

After setting this "/Account/Login?RedirectUrl=%2F" is being used. I can manually go to the login page and login. Is there another options I need to set now? I can see that it is using ReturnUrlParameter and ExpireTimeSpan.

How is the challenge triggering? Is it just via [Authorize]? Can you show us all your config?

Try configuring "Services.AddIdentity" then "Services.ConfigureApplicationCookie" as shown below.

@justin-ruffin 's suggestion worked for me

[develax]

Where is that stated in the documentation?

Why does the order affect behavior?
This isn't obvious at all and is driving me insane.

[justin-ruffin]

The reason the order matters is because "AddIdentity" configures the application cookie.

If you call "ConfigureApplicationCookie" prior to "AddIdentity" then your custom configuration is overwritten.

Hi I still facing this issue even after placing ConfigureApplicationCookie after AddDefaultIdentity.
Any suggestions?

Here is my ConfigureServices:

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{

        services.Configure<CookiePolicyOptions>(options =>
        {
                     options.CheckConsentNeeded = context => true;
                     options.MinimumSameSitePolicy = SameSiteMode.None;
        });
        services.AddSingleton<IDatabaseFactory, DatabaseFactory>();
        services.AddTransient<ConferencesRepository>();
        services.AddTransient<IUserStore<IdentityUser>, UserStore>();
        services.AddTransient<IEmailSender, EmailSender>(s =>
            new EmailSender(
                Configuration["EmailSender:Host"],
                     .....
                Configuration["EmailSender:Password"]
            )
        );
        services.AddDefaultIdentity<IdentityUser>();

        services.Configure<IdentityOptions>(options =>
        {
            // Password settings.
            options.Password.RequireDigit = false;
                     .....
            options.User.RequireUniqueEmail = false;
        });

        services.ConfigureApplicationCookie(options => {
            options.LoginPath = new PathString("/Account/LoginRegister");
        });

        services.AddMvc().SetCompatibilityVersion(CompatibilityVersion.Version_2_1);
    }

Forgot to mention that I am using ASP.NET Core 2.1.1

I commented .AddDefaultUI() and it worked!

Hi, anyone could do it with ASP.NET IdentityServer4? I have set it after adding Identity and even after IdentityServer configuration (I also tried before too), and removed the AddDefaultUI, but it still redirects me to /account/login. Here is the code:

            services.AddDbContext<ApplicationDbContext>(options =>
                options.UseSqlServer(apiSettings.ConnectionStrings.BibliIdContext));
            services.AddIdentity<IdentityUser, IdentityRole>()
                .AddEntityFrameworkStores<ApplicationDbContext>()
                .AddDefaultTokenProviders();
                //.AddDefaultUI();  

            var migrationsAssembly = typeof(Startup).Assembly.GetName().Name;

            services
                .AddIdentityServer()
                .AddDeveloperSigningCredential()
                .AddConfigurationStore(options =>
                {
                    options.ConfigureDbContext = builder =>
                    {
                        builder.UseSqlServer(
                            apiSettings.ConnectionStrings.BibliIdContext,
                            sql => sql.MigrationsAssembly(migrationsAssembly));
                    };
                })
                .AddOperationalStore(options =>
                {
                    options.ConfigureDbContext = builder =>
                    {
                        builder.UseSqlServer(
                            apiSettings.ConnectionStrings.BibliIdContext,
                            sql => sql.MigrationsAssembly(migrationsAssembly));
                    };

                    options.EnableTokenCleanup = true;
                })
                .AddAspNetIdentity<IdentityUser>();

            services.ConfigureApplicationCookie(options =>
            {
                options.LoginPath = "/Identity/Account/LoginTest";
                options.LogoutPath = "/Identity/Account/Logout";
            });


            services
                .AddMvc()
                .SetCompatibilityVersion(CompatibilityVersion.Version_2_1);

EDIT: Founded the solution from IdentityServer's documentation. For those who search for it later:

            services
                .AddIdentityServer(options =>
                {
                    options.UserInteraction.LoginUrl = "/Identity/Account/Login";
                    options.UserInteraction.LogoutUrl = "/Identity/Account/Logout";
                })
