Hi,

What happens currently? Do you have some authorization in place? If not see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8d82143t(v=vs.85).aspx

ASP.NET should do this out of the box ie if a page is not allowed, ASP.NET direct the user to the login page and keep the return url so that once logged the user can be directed back to the page he tried to access.

For now I asume this link is not configured to be restricted only to some users ?

Hi Eosia,

According to you description, it seems that you want to redirect unauthenticated users to login page. If you do not do anything to authenticate and authorize users in your application, an easy way to achieve it, you can try to implement simple forms authentication, which can help you understand how authentication and authorization secure application.
