Is it possible to disable authentication Filter on one action in an MVC 5 controller?
Since it is your custom filter, you can extend it to handle AllowAnonymous (if you don't want to use AllowAnonymous, yoy can create own f.e. NoAuthentication): public class AuthenticateUser : IAuthenticationFilter { public void OnAuthentication(AuthenticationContext filterContext) { if (this.IsAnonymousAction(filterContext)) { return; } // some code } private bool IsAnonymousAction(AuthenticationContext filterContext) { return filterContext.ActionDescriptor .GetCustomAttributes(inherit: true) .OfType<AllowAnonymousAttribute>() //or any attr. you want .Any(); } }
AllowAnonymousAttribute Class
[AllowAnonymous] not working for Authentication filter disable... It is for Authorization Filter
Specifies that the class or method that this attribute is applied to does not require authorization.
