Optimizely CMS 13 and the new login/admin/edit URL

For years, the URL editors and administrators needed to remember has been /episerver/cms/. But what happens when you upgrade to CMS 13?

This change isn’t listed among the breaking changes, but it is covered in the upgrade guide.

The CMS admin path has changed from /episerver. The new path depends on your authentication setup:

• DXP-hosted with Opti ID – The default path is /ui/CMS.
• Self-hosted (without Opti ID) – The default path is /Optimizely/CMS.

If you want to keep the old URL, add the following to ConfigureServices in Startup.cs:

services.Configure<ProtectedModuleOptions>(p => p.RootPath = "~/episerver");
services.Configure<UIOptions>(o => o.EditUrl = new Uri("~/episerver/cms/", UriKind.Relative));
