MVC login action not redirecting after form authenticated

Question

I have below controller login action.

Once everything done, Redirect(returnUrl) is not redirecting to " http://localhost:53821/Reviews/New " page. It is sitting in the same page.

[AllowAnonymous]
public ActionResult Login() {
  return this.View();
}

[HttpPost]
[AllowAnonymous]
public ActionResult Login(RH.ViewModel.LogOnVM logOn, string returnUrl) {
  if (ModelState.IsValid) {
    FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(logOn.Username, false);
    return this.Redirect(returnUrl);
  }

  return this.View(logOn);
}

Once it went through [HttpPost] Login, again it is hitting [HttpGet] login and same login view is getting displayed.

Answer 1

Did you have [Authorize] in any controller?

[Authorize]

If the user is not authenticated, this [Authorize] will redirect you to the login page again, continuously.
