    copied!<p>This is a strange one. They always are when I get to this point.</p> <p>I have an MVC app. It's a single page app so all routes are ajax calls but I don't think this is relevant.</p> <p>Strangely and all of a sudden one particular page has started giving me a 401 and prompting for creds. Actually it's both pages that are in this MVC Area. It is only doing it in qa no locally so I can't debug. And It only started after last push. None of the other pages are doing this.</p> <p>So I compared the headers via fiddler for a successful page and the 401 page on the site. exactly the freakin same except the url. the actions</p> <p>the action for 401</p> <pre><code>public ActionResult Display_Template(ViewModel input) { return this.View("Display", new TasksByFieldViewModel()); } </code></pre> <p>for the 200</p> <pre><code>public ActionResult AddUpdate_Template(ViewModel input) { return View("VendorAddUpdate", new VendorViewModel()); } </code></pre> <p>The only changes are this and this makes no sense.</p> <p>From the 401 page, I redirect to an aspx page that has a reportviewer on it. But you have to click a button and then you are window.locationed on over. It can't possibly have anything to do with that.</p> <p>The second is that I upgraded from sqlserver trial to sqlserver standard on the qa server.</p> <p>That's all I got. completely befuddled.</p> <p>Any thoughts would be great.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Raif</p> <hr> <p><strong>EDIT\Fix\Hack:</strong></p> <p>Ok well this is either confusing or enraging. It's too early to tell.</p> <p>My MVC Area, the one that is breaking, well it was named "Reports" because, well it was full of reports. After doing some hail mary tests I changed the Area name to Reportsx, now it works like a dream. As I certainly never told any part of the stack to demand credentials if the Area name is Reports I can only assume that there is some IIS setting or MVC setting that says if the url is xxx/Reports then demand creds.</p> <p>I'm open to alternative views.</p>
