How to set MapRoute In MVC

Question

Please see my requirement below.

I want to redirect user to account/login page with follwing conditions.

1. If users types for example http://example.com/Customer1

Where customer1 is customer I am keeping this in one config table where I am having connection string for customer1

so basically customer1 I need to check if this exist in db then redirect to /Customer1/account/login page.

Please let me know if this possible or not? If yes how I can set or check this map.route?

public ActionResult Login()
        {
            string CurrentURL = Request.Url.AbsoluteUri;

                var subdomain = CurrentURL.Split('/')[5];
                var getDB = (from c in dbcontext.Configuration
                             where c.CustomerName == subdomain
                             select new
                                 {
                                     DBName = c.CustomerDBName,
                                     DBUserName = c.CustomerDBUserName,
                                     DBPassword = c.CustomerDBPassword,
                                     DBDataSource = c.CustomerDBDataSource,
                                     DBConnectionString = c.CustomerDBConnectionStringName
                                 }).FirstOrDefault();

                dbcontext.ChangeDatabase(initialCatalog: getDB.DBName, 
                         userId: getDB.DBUserName, 
                         password: getDB.DBPassword, 
                         dataSource: getDB.DBDataSource, 
                         configConnectionStringName: getDB.DBConnectionString);

            return View();
}

In above code I am just checking that if subdomain entred by user is macthing then chnage the EDMX connection but now how to redirect to login page customer name.

what you need to do is

Add a controller Customer

public class CustomerController : Controller
{
    //
    // GET: /Customer/

    public ActionResult Default(string id)
    { 

        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(id))
            return View("SiteIndex"); //default View for you site like home/index here

        //put your code to check the customer in the DB here
         return View();
    }

}

in the Route.Config. add the route for customer before the default one.

public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
        {
            routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");

            routes.MapRoute(
              name: "CustomerDefault",
              url: "{id}",
              defaults: new { controller = "Customer", action = "Default", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
          );

            routes.MapRoute(
                name: "Default",
                url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
                defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
            );


        }
