Error: your connection to this site is not private Asp.Net. MVC5

Question

I'm setting up a new server with windows Azure VM for a asp.net mvc 5 application. I'm able to open every page of the application without a problem with an exception of one controller. i.e. whenever I try to open a page belong to a specific controller, it prompts me for user name & password as below.

I use the same application in a different Windows Server 2016 VM without any issues.

I don't see any errors of the application/IIS logs either. I don't have any https requirements in the application.

What may be causing this behaviour?

namespace App.Controllers
{
    public class ReportsController : BaseController
    {
        private readonly IReportRepository reportRepository;
        public ReportsController(): this(new ReportRepository()){
        }

        public ReportsController(IReportRepository reportRepository){
        this.reportRepository = reportRepository;
        }

        public ViewResult Action()
        {
           return View(reportRepository.All);
        }
    }
 }

namespace App.Controllers
{
    [Authorize]
    public class BaseController : Controller
    {
    }
 }

UPDATE: I renamed the ReportsController to AppReportsController and the issue disappeared. i.e. I get the above prompt when I try to access

http://domain/Reports/Action

but not for

http://domain/AppReports/Action

Could you please someone explain to me what's going on here? Does it mean that "Reports" is reserved by the framework or something?

Answer 1

I know this was an old post however I stumble on this one because I encountered the same error as the OP does.

I have solved this one in case there's someone encounters the same as this. but the solution may vary depends if we have the same applications installed.

1. check if the web server / server has an installation of sql server.
2. check if there is reporting services installed.

3. remove / uninstall the reporting services from the application control panel follow this link if you don't know how to remove the report service How to remove Report Service

4. Please check again if you still encounter the same error. Cheers!
