ASP.NET MVC 3 - Various Login Pages for the Authorization Attribute

I have forms authentication connected for my MVC 3 application. Usually, when a request arrives for which authentication is required, they are sent to my login controller, where they should be logged in.

However, I want a different view for this particular workflow, because I plan on using white labels for my clients. Instead, I want them to go to another endpoint of my login controller in order to display my custom login window.

What options should I make for this to work?

Can you talk about what you mean by a white sign? What content will be changed and what will it depend on?

In your Web.config file, find

 <system.web> <authentication mode="Forms"> <forms loginUrl="/Login/Index" /> </authentication>

Change the loginUrl attribute as you want. Then, in the login action, select the correct view to return.

You will need a certain type of identifier in order to distinguish clients (subdomain, cookie or something else). Use this to choose the right type for return.

Not sure what exactly you are doing, but on condition that the user tries to go to this page:

 http://example.com/Customer1/Index

and you want to redirect to

 http://example.com/Customer1/Login

Suppose your regular login page is here:

 http://example.com/Account/Login

You will get the query string parameter ReturnUrl . Thus, the request will go to your login page as follows:

 http://example.com/Account/Login?ReturnUrl=/Customer1/Index

So, you can examine this parameter to determine where to redirect.
