openid connect - ASP.NET Core 3.1 How can I redirect to the SignIn Action contained in the AccountController provided by MicrosoftIdentity

Question

I have two login methods, OpenIDConnect and Cookie based Authentication.

I provide a button for the user to choose, and I have this code that then handles the request.

    using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting;
    using Microsoft.Identity.Web.UI; 

    [HttpPost]
    [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
    [AllowAnonymous]
    public async Task<IActionResult> LogIn(LogInModel model, string actionType)
    {
        if (actionType.Equals("AzureLogin")) {
            
            return RedirectToAction("SignIn", "AccountController", new { Area = "MicrosoftIdentity" });
        }
       // default Cookie Auth follows.
    }

When I redirect I am getting:

Status Code: 404; Not Found.

How can I invoke the provided SignIn Action. .NET Docs mention this, but I would prefer not to use the asp-controller property.

<li class="nav-item">
    <a class="nav-link text-dark" asp-area="MicrosoftIdentity" asp-controller="Account" asp-action="SignIn">Sign in</a>
</li>

Answer 1

The name of the controller should be Account and not AccountController.

e.g.

return RedirectToAction("SignIn", "Account", new { Area = "MicrosoftIdentity" });
