Links in section Authentication limitations with shared cookies dead end

[cas-matt]

Description

The following links end up as dead ends (404 - page not found):

ASP.NET app -->> https://github.com/dotnet/systemweb-adapters/tree/main/samples/RemoteAuth/Identity/MvcApp
ASP.NET Core app -->> https://github.com/dotnet/systemweb-adapters/tree/main/samples/RemoteAuth/Identity/MvcCoreApp

in the section Authentication limitations with shared cookies

It looks like the /RemoteAuth/ should be replaced by /AuthRemoteIdentity/

Thanks @cas-matt for taking the time to let us know. We will fix it.

Issue Analysis: Dead Links in Authentication Documentation

Issue Summary

This is a valid issue. The links in the "Authentication limitations with shared cookies" section of the authentication.md file are incorrect and lead to 404 errors. The links point to non-existent paths in the systemweb-adapters repository.

Issue Details

In the authentication.md file (lines 347-348), the following incorrect links are present:

• ASP.NET app -> https://github.com/dotnet/systemweb-adapters/tree/main/samples/RemoteAuth/Identity/MvcApp
• ASP.NET Core app -> https://github.com/dotnet/systemweb-adapters/tree/main/samples/RemoteAuth/Identity/MvcCoreApp

The user correctly identified that these links should likely point to paths containing "AuthRemoteIdentity" instead of "RemoteAuth".

Required Changes

File: aspnetcore/migration/fx-to-core/areas/authentication.md

Lines to modify: 347-348

Current incorrect links:

* [ASP.NET app](https://github.com/dotnet/systemweb-adapters/tree/main/samples/RemoteAuth/Identity/MvcApp)
* [ASP.NET Core app](https://github.com/dotnet/systemweb-adapters/tree/main/samples/RemoteAuth/Identity/MvcCoreApp)

Verify in the repo here:
ASP.NET
https://github.com/dotnet/systemweb-adapters/tree/main/samples/AuthRemoteIdentity/AuthRemoteIdentityFramework

ASP.NET Core
https://github.com/dotnet/systemweb-adapters/tree/main/samples/AuthRemoteIdentity/AuthRemoteIdentityCore

Corrected links:

* [ASP.NET app](https://github.com/dotnet/systemweb-adapters/tree/main/samples//AuthRemoteIdentity/AuthRemoteIdentityFramework)
* [ASP.NET Core app](https://github.com/dotnet/systemweb-adapters/tree/main/samples/AuthRemoteIdentity/AuthRemoteIdentityCore)

Verification

The issue mentions that "/RemoteAuth/" should be replaced with "/AuthRemoteIdentity/", which seems correct based on context clues within the document. This is further supported by:

1. In the ASP.NET Core configuration section (zone pivot="aspire"), line 209 references "AuthRemoteIdentityCore"
2. The corrected links would be consistent with the naming pattern used elsewhere in the article

Impact

These broken links prevent readers from accessing sample code that demonstrates the shared cookie authentication implementation, which is an important reference for users trying to implement this migration approach.

Target .NET and Visual Studio Versions

• The article targets ASP.NET Core 6.0 and later (as indicated by the "monikerRange: '>= aspnetcore-6.0'" on line 6)
• No specific Visual Studio version is referenced in the document
