Anonymous user: redirect to login if view not accessible

[emeyke]

Quite typical situation if the view is access by specific URL and the user is not logged on. Currently the error "cannot find the view" is displayed. It makes sense to make the behavior to redirect to login a default in case of anonymous authentication is enabled.

a sample can always speed up resolution

this is exactly the correct message and situation. Anon user does not have rights to access the view specified in the URL. So it is logical to redirect to login screen and after successful login redirect to originally requested view. If the user is logged in (not anon) but there is still no rights to access, then it makes sense to raise exception. This is more of a suggestion...

eXpand.lab release 20.2.304.2 includes commit that relate to this task:

• DashboardNavigationController: redirect to default if view not accessible #804

Please test if it addresses the problem. If you use nuget add our LAB NugetServer as a nuget package source in VS.

To minimize version conflicts we recommend that you switch to PackageReference format and use only the eXpandAgnostic, eXpandWin, eXpandWeb packages. Doing so, all packages will be at your disposal and .NET will add a dependecy only to those packages that you actually use and not to all (see the Modules installation-registrations youtube video).

Thanks a lot for your contribution.
