follow this, if you have startup.cs instead of web.config // In the Startup.cs, configure method. app.UseCookieAuthentication(options => { options.AutomaticAuthenticate = true ; options.AutomaticChallenge = true ; options.LoginPath = "/Home/Login" ; }); // Add Authorize attribute to protect the resources you want to secure. [Authorize] public IActionResult Index() { return View(); } // In the Home Controller, Login Post action method, write the following method. var username = Configuration[ "username" ]; var password = Configuration[ "password" ]; if (authUser.Username == username && authUser.Password == password) { var identity = new ClaimsIdentity(claims, CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme); HttpContext.Authentication.SignInAsync( CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme, new ClaimsPrincipal(identity)); return Redirect( "~/Home/Index" ); } else { ModelState.AddModelError( "" , "Login failed. Please check Username and/or password" ); }
