The cookie is used to store and pass the authentication information with a request. What do plan on using instead?

Hi @Ranjeet Singh ,

From your description, I assume you are using JWT authentication or another provider to authenticate the user. Instead of using cookie or Identity Authentication (If you are using asp.net core Identity, by default it will redirect to the login page without setting it in the program.cs file, and it will also use cookie to store the user identity information).

If that is the case, you can try to use the StatusCodePages middleware to check the response status code, if the response status is Unauthorized, redirect to the Login page:

app.UseHttpsRedirection();  
app.UseStaticFiles();  
app.UseStatusCodePages(async context => {  
    var request = context.HttpContext.Request;  
    var response = context.HttpContext.Response;  
  
    // you may also check requests path to do this only for specific methods         
    // && request.Path.Value.StartsWith("/specificPath")  
    if (response.StatusCode == (int)HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized)  
    {  
        response.Redirect("/Account/Login");  //redirect to the Account Controller login page.  
    }  
});  
  
app.UseRouting();  
  
app.UseAuthentication();  
app.UseAuthorization();
