MVC 5 Authentication working in IIS Express but not in IIS

Question

I have created an ASP .NET Web Application with MVC and Authentication as Individual User Accounts. I have populated the app with some controllers, actions and views. Some of them are [AllowAnonymous] and other [Authorize].

It works perfectly in IIS express. I can create multiple accounts. And logging. And see the pages I have access to.

When I deployed the app to my local IIS, the authentication stopped working. I can create accounts. But I cant log in. When I try to log in it only redirects me toward the home page and I cant see the pages. When i try to put fake access it detects that they are incorrect.

I tried to fiddle around in the IIS settings but a don't know what to do.

Please, help me.

Answer 1

在 IIS 中，为站点搜索身份验证功能并启用 Windows 身份验证并禁用匿名。

Answer 2

You need to keep your application to run anonymous authentication instead of windows authentication. Otherwise, you login page will get into infinite loop.

Besides,are you trying to connect a localdb with individual user account template in IIS? Have you tried to set applciation pool like this in applicationhost.config and remove "AttachDbFilename=....." from your web.config connection string? If I take the steps above, I can get both register and create work in my IIS.

 <add name="my app pool" autoStart="true">
                <processModel identityType="ApplicationPoolIdentity" setProfileEnvironment="true" />
            </add>
