Disable 401 redirect - EPI 7.5 MVC

Hello

We have a controller, /exampleUrl, that talks to an external API. Our frontend uses AJAX to talk to the controller.

The external API returns an error sometimes and then I want to send a 401 statuscode back to the frontend.

I've noticed that when sending back a 401 to the client, EPI hooks in and redirects me to the loginpage for the CMS...can I somehow turn this off?

I've added this to my web.config but it doesn't work...what am I missing?

Heres the correct web.config entry...

  <location path="exampleUrl">
    <system.web>
      <authentication mode="None" />
      <authorization>
        <allow users="*"/>
      </authorization>
      <customErrors mode="Off"></customErrors>
    </system.web>
 </location>

Solved it like this.

protected void Application_BeginRequest()
{
     var startUrl = "/exampleUrl";
     if(Request.Url.AbsolutePath.StartsWith(startUrl))
     {
         Response.SuppressFormsAuthenticationRedirect = true;
     }
}
