How to make the Identity Login Page the startup page in dotnetcore 2.1

Question

I am creating a dotnetcore 2.1 application and have scaffolded the Identity Login page. However, I don't know how to make the login page the startup page. I know how to do it with Controllers and Actions but not with the scaffolded page. Please could someone enlighten me on how to do this ?

As Brendan Green wrote in the comments you can add a restriction in your startup.cs file.

This works in Asp.Net Core 2.0 and 2.1.

You can do this by use the following code in your startup.cs

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services.AddMvc(o =>
    {
        var policy = new AuthorizationPolicyBuilder()
            .RequireAuthenticatedUser()
            .Build();
        o.Filters.Add(new AuthorizeFilter(policy));
    });
}

If you want to do this you need a user-store. So you have to use the template with individual user accounts or you do with "new Scaffolded item" -> "identity"

I hope this help you?
