asp.net-mvc - MVC4 [Authorize] Attribute, change where it redirects when a user is not logged in

Question

I am using [Authorize] tags to ensure a user is logged in before viewing a controller or action. However, it redirects to :

Account/Login?ReturnUrl=%2f_internal%2fHome%2f

and I would like to change this to redirect to /Account/Account/Login (to include the area), but I can't seem to find where I can go to change this link?

If you are using Forms Authentication you can edit the URL in the web.config file in the root of your application. The section will look something like the following.

<system.web>
    <authentication mode="Forms">
        <forms loginUrl="~/Account/Login" timeout="2880" />
    </authentication>
</system.web>

Change the loginUrl attribute and you are good to go :)
