Azure AD Authentication redirects to home page - azure

Question

I'm building an Azure AD authentication which works fine, the only issue is that if a user clicks on a link that looks like host.com/xxx/bbb if they're not authenticated then they get redirected to root.
I need them to still be redirected to the original URL they entered in the browser. Can can this be achieved? Below is a snippet of the code I use in app startup:
public void ConfigureAuth(IAppBuilder app)
{
app.SetDefaultSignInAsAuthenticationType(CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationType);
app.UseCookieAuthentication(new CookieAuthenticationOptions());
app.UseOpenIdConnectAuthentication(
new OpenIdConnectAuthenticationOptions
{
ClientId = XXX,
Authority = string.Format("https://login.microsoftonline.com/{0}", YYY,
Notifications = new OpenIdConnectAuthenticationNotifications
{
RedirectToIdentityProvider = async n => { await Task.Run(() => SetRedirectUrl(n)); }
}
});
}
private static void SetRedirectUrl(RedirectToIdentityProviderNotification<OpenIdConnectMessage, OpenIdConnectAuthenticationOptions> notification)
{
notification.ProtocolMessage.RedirectUri = notification.Request.Uri.AbsoluteUri;
}
None of the properties of OwinRequest contain a full path I'm looking for. I've also tried looking at
HttpContext.Current.Request.Url
but this also does not have the full address.

You need to set the SignIn() method in AccountController.cs. You could use “Request.UrlReferrer.ToString();” to get the entered url:
public void SignIn()
{
// var host = Request.UserHostName.ToString();
var ori = Request.UrlReferrer.ToString();
var index = ori.LastIndexOf('/');
var action = ori.Substring(index);
// Send an OpenID Connect sign-in request.
if (!Request.IsAuthenticated)
{
HttpContext.GetOwinContext().Authentication.Challenge(new AuthenticationProperties { RedirectUri = action },
OpenIdConnectAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationType);
}
}
