Authenticating The URL in ASP.NET MVC

I am doing a project in asp.net MVC (web application). I have a doubt about that. please help me.

Eg: I have a 'LOGIN' Page as my first page, in that Additional two pages named 'Home', 'About'.

When I launch my application in ISS Express, it will load "Localhost:12345".

ie. Login Page.

Then when I Click "Login" button -> Home page (Localhost:12345/Home)

When I Click "About" Link -> About Page (Locahost:12345/About)

My Question is .:

When I give URL of (Locahost:12345/About) directly in the browser, it will load directly to About Page without asking Login.

I need to redirect my URL to Login Page if some other URL name (Home or About Page). Only after the main page(Loginpage) I need to go to other pages by clicking the respective button.

what is the Proper method to do this concept?

Anybody, please help me.

You can use simple forms authentication. Just add FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(username, false); after you've authenticated the user in your action method, add the following in your web.config

<authentication mode="Forms">
  <forms loginUrl="(Your_login_controller)" slidingExpiration="true" timeout="2880"></forms>
</authentication>

Then you can use [Authorize] attribute on the controllers on which you don't want unauthorized access.

You need to add [Authorize] attribute to controllers which you want to be loaded if authenticated.
