I have 1 mvc application and that is running fine on 2 url's with the same code deployed to different folder for both the url's to work.

URL's are like https://www.abc.com/ - web form authentication
https://www.abc.com/AD/ - windows authentication

Now the requirement is we have 2 deploy the code in one folder only and both the url's should work like earlier when we are deploying in 2 folders for same application.

so now we have to create a folder named AD within the MVC application and call home controller from root directory after windows authentication.

Any help will be appreciated

What I have tried:

I've tried creating a folder named AD within the application and used windows authentication but when I put my credentials and trying to redirect on root folder's home controller then getting error that resource not found. and sometimes there is no route configured.

also I've tried creating a *.aspx page and redirecting from there
Response.Redirect("../Home/Index");
this.Response.RedirectToRoute("~/Home/Index"); but noting works.

You'll need a Windows Authentication action on your Home controller:
C#
[Authorize]
[Route("AD")]
public ActionResult WindowsLogin(string returnUrl = null)
{
    FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(User.Identity.Name, false);
    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(returnUrl) && Url.IsLocalUrl(returnUrl)) return Redirect(returnUrl);
    return RedirectToAction(nameof(Index));
}
Then update your web.config file to turn on Windows authentication for that route:
XML
<location path="AD">
    <system.webServer>
        <security>
            <authentication>
                <windowsAuthentication enabled="true" />
                <basicAuthentication enabled="true" />
                <anonymousAuthentication enabled="false" />
            </authentication>
        </security>
    </system.webServer>
</location>
You may need to "unlock" these sections:

If you're using IIS, open IIS Manager, open the "Feature Delegation" page from the Management group. Find the four "Authentication - ..." sections, and ensure that they are set to "Read/Write".

If you're using IIS Express, you'll need to edit the applicationHost.config file, which is located in the hidden ".vs\Project_Name\config" folder within your solution folder.

I've tried this but getting below error
HTTP Error 500.22 - Internal Server Error
An ASP.NET setting has been detected that does not apply in Integrated managed pipeline mode.

and if I change pipeline mode to classic then the actual https://www.abc.com/ is not working

Don't change it to "classic" pipeline; find the setting it's complaining about and fix that instead.

If you open the page in a browser running on the server itself, you should get a detailed error message which will tell you which setting it doesn't like.
