Does Verndale Redirect Manager work with CMS 12? if not what plugin is a good substitute to use with CMS 12?

I am seeing this error in the backend:

Hi Daman 

It seems the module is using a custom authorisation policy episerver:redirectmanager which hasn't been defined. You can either add this policy in your startup.cs or remove the policy from the module.config file in the module directory so that the default episerver:defaultshellmodule policy is applied.

To your question about alternative plugins, https://github.com/Geta/geta-notfoundhandler is also a popular plugin that works with CMS 12.

I installed the NuGet 

 Install-Package Geta.NotFoundHandler.Optimizely

 and added the following 

 services.AddHttpContextAccessor();

            services.AddOptimizelyNotFoundHandler(o =>
            {
                o.AutomaticRedirectsEnabled = true;
            });

            services.Configure<TinyMceConfiguration>(config =>
            {
                config.Default()
                      .AddEpiserverSupport()
                      .AddPlugin("epi-link code")
                      .AppendToolbar("epi-link | code");
            });


          

But I get this error when I start the application:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in System.Private.CoreLib.dll
Unable to resolve service for type 'Geta.NotFoundHandler.Core.Redirects.IRedirectsService' while attempting to activate 'Geta.NotFoundHandler.Optimizely.Core.AutomaticRedirects.DefaultAutomaticRedirectsService'.

Assuming you applied all the other configuration steps, does it work if you remove the AutomaticRedirectsEnabled flag?

Mandatory configuration for CMS, as per as per https://github.com/Geta/geta-notfoundhandler#configuration

    services.AddNotFoundHandler(o =>
    {
        o.UseSqlServer(connectionstring);
        o.BufferSize = 30;
        o.ThreshHold = 5;
        o.HandlerMode = FileNotFoundMode.On;
        o.IgnoredResourceExtensions = new[] { "jpg", "gif", "png", "css", "js", "ico", "swf", "woff" };
        o.Logging = LoggerMode.On;
        o.LogWithHostname = false;
        o.AddProvider<NullNotFoundHandlerProvider>();
    });

    services.AddOptimizelyNotFoundHandler(o =>
    {
        o.AutomaticRedirectsEnabled = true;
    });

And,

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app)
{
    app.UseNotFoundHandler();
    app.UseOptimizelyNotFoundHandler();
...
}

It works without errors, and I imported redirects but the redirects don't seem to be working

Ran the job successfully also:

Could you try URLs without hostname and port?

Old URL:

New URL:

Also, make sure that 

 app.UseNotFoundHandler();
 app.UseOptimizelyNotFoundHandler();

are on top of the other `Use` method calls in the `Configure` method.

Maris Krivtezs: The redirect does not work, do I need to run the job everytime I enter a redirect? Also, the redirects cannot be edited right? Just added or deleted?

here it is in configure services code:

Then in 

here is the redirect

And redirect still does not work. Strange.  Do you have any errors in the log?

Do you have any other middleware or some request handler that might catch 404 errors?

I think `app.config` or `web.config` is not needed anymore in Optimizely 12.

See Optimizely's example project: https://github.com/episerver/Foundation/tree/main/src/Foundation

Maybe try comparing. Also, check for any initialization modules that might catch 404 errors and rewrite content (from the screenshot it even does not redirect).
