asp.net mvc redirect to forms loginurl

I'm my logout action method I'm trying to redirect to the loginurl as defined in the web.config.

I have tried

public ActionResult LogOff()
{
    if(Request.IsAuthenticated)
        FormsAuthentication.SignOut();

    return RedirectToRoute(FormsAuthentication.LoginUrl);
}

However it returns an error

A route named '/Home/Index' could not be found in the route collection. Parameter name: name

The config setting is defined as follows 

<authentication mode="Forms">
  <forms loginUrl="/Home/Index" timeout="2880" />
</authentication>

Is there some other overload or method I should be using?

Solution

  • RedirectToRoute(string routeName) accept a RouteName not a path.

    Use RedirectToAction

    return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");

    Or Redirect

    return Redirect(FormsAuthentication.LoginUrl);
