Testing .NET 6 app configured with identity using postman

Question

I have a .NET 6 application that is configured to use identity for authorization and would like to test other controllers in the application. I've tried using postman but the request keeps returning a 404 error.

I tried using postman interceptor to capture the credentials from the request but could not figure out how to use them.

I also tried setting up the app to use cookies but nothing seems to be happening.

builder.Services.ConfigureApplicationCookie(options =>
{
    options.LoginPath = "/Account/Login";
    options.AccessDeniedPath = "/Home/AccessDenied";
});

Answer 1

Do you add below code to your Program.cs?

builder.Services.AddControllersWithViews();
...
app.MapControllerRoute(
    name: "default",
    pattern: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");

You can have a look at Routing to controller actions in ASP.NET Core to know more.

Try to add the above route for mvc.
