Regarding Routing in mvc - asp.net-mvc

Question

I have a url like www.abc.com in mvc3 application, i set a default map.route like this
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "UserLogOnPage", action = "LogOn", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
now what is happening when i type www.abc.com and enter it goes to Controller:UserLogOnPage Method:Logon and in browser url is also showing www.abc.com which is correct, but when enter url like www.abc.com/UserLogOnPage/Logon same method and controller ,i want url like www.abc.com not www.abc.com/UserLogOnPage/Logon how can i do this.
Thanks

I am almost certain this isn't what you are actually trying to do - that route configuration will result in any URL being redirected to the LogOn page.
Going by the url what it looks you are after is actually authentication i.e. if an anonymous user visits www.abc.com they are asked to log on before they can get access to the site.
Luckily for you, MVC has already done the hardwork all you need to do is decide how you want it to work. Authentication can be applied at various levels and the scope is determined by where via the AuthorizeAttribute is set.
Global.asax - authentication required by every action
public static void RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilterCollection filters)
{
...
filters.Add(new AuthorizeAttribute());
}
Controller - authentication required for all actions within a particular controller
[Authorize]
public class AccountController : Controller
{
...
}
Action - authentication required for this action only
[Authorize]
public ActionResult AccountDetails()
{
...
}
To determine which page you want users to be redirected to as a result of the AuthorizeAttribute, you can configure the authorization section in the web.config
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="~/UserLogOnPage/LogOn" />
</authentication>
