Hi everyone, I’ve tried to test the Auth0 integration with an [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) 4.6.1 application by using the following quickstart: [https://auth0.com/docs/quickstart/webapp/aspnet-owin/03-authorization](https://auth0.com/docs/quickstart/webapp/aspnet-owin/03-authorization) I downloaded the example and hooked it up with my default app, added the roles rule as per the tutorial and if I try to access the /Account/Admin route with an “admin” role, everything works as expected. The problem appears when I try to access this route with any other role. Expected result: I am redirected to the homepage (or the callback url of my choice). Actual result: The app starts an infinite loop that ends with a “_“OpenIdConnectMessage.Error was not null, indicating an error. Error: ‘access\_denied’. Error\_Description (may be empty): ‘’. Error\_Uri (may be empty): ‘’.”_” error. I tried investigating myself but I am out of ideas. Has anyone else encountered this? **In case it helps anyone, easiest way to reproduce:** - use the example code provided in the quickstart - assign the user a “user” role (in the example’s case, the user’s email should not end with “[example.com](http://example.com)”) - try to access the /Account/Admin route Thanks! ---

Hi @only_me_jo This seems to be a legacy implementation issue with [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET), in short it creates a redirect loop as it redirects to the login page which in turn redirects back to the page it was trying to request (which in this case is `/Account/Admin`). You can read more about it in [this blog post](https://www.blinkingcaret.com/2016/01/20/authorization-redirect-loops-asp-net-mvc/) (which contains a potential solution that you can customize). Hope this helps! ---

I’ve also just pulled the quick start project and tried it and I still have the same issue. I have tried using the CustomAuthroizeAttribute but it doesn’t seem to work, as I still get in the same loop ---

Also getting this, it looks like if you don’t have permission, it redirects you back to auth0, when it should throw a permission error, since you are authenticated, but not authorized.
