public class RouteConfig
{
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Custom",
url: "{controller}/{Account}/{page}",
defaults: new
{
category = UrlParameter.Optional,
page = 1,
action = "Login"
},
constraints: new
{
controller = "Account"
}
);
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
}
}

Answer 1

Assuming the case that you want the users to be redirected to the login page or a custom page if they are not 'signed-in'.
You could create a filter attribute.
example:
[RequireHttps]
[AuthorizationFilter]
public class MyController : Controller
{
}
public class AuthorizationFilter : ActionFilterAttribute
{
public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
{
//do some validation, find if the user is signed-in.
filterContext.Result = new RedirectResult(..Some where in the site..);
}
}

Change your route. The default route is set to /Home/Index
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters*
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index",
id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
You can change that to be any route you wish
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters*
new { controller = "ControllerName", action = "ControllerActionName",
id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);

Answer 3

replace your default route (the last one) with this
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Account", action = "Login", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
