.net core Authentication with identity doesn't run my action

I am trying to use Cookie authentication in my .net core MVC project. The process is that After Registration I have an entry in the ASPNetUsers table and I have extended this table to include a userType. After the user has logged in I can see that there is a cookie in the cookies collection through the chrome browser. When I try to redirect the user after login it fails. If I adorn the method I'm redirecting with 

[AllowAnonymous]

At the top of my controller I have 

[Authorize(ActiveAuthenticationSchemes = "Cookie")]

When I start the application I register Identity with the following bit of code:

 services.AddIdentity<ApplicationUser, IdentityRole<int>>(
            config => { config.User.RequireUniqueEmail = true;
                config.Cookies.ApplicationCookie.LoginPath = "/Account/Login";
                config.Cookies.ApplicationCookie.Events = new CookieAuthenticationEvents()
                {
                    OnRedirectToLogin = async ctx =>
                    {
                        if (ctx.Request.Path.StartsWithSegments("/visualjobs") && ctx.Response.StatusCode == 200)
                        {
                            ctx.Response.StatusCode = 401;
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            ctx.Response.Redirect(ctx.RedirectUri);
                        }
                        await Task.Yield();
                    }
                };
            }).AddEntityFrameworkStores<VisualJobsDbContext, int>()
          .AddDefaultTokenProviders();

and in the configuration of start up I have:

 app.UseIdentity();

        app.UseCookieAuthentication(new CookieAuthenticationOptions()
        {
            AuthenticationScheme = "Cookie",
           // LoginPath = new PathString("/Account/Login/"),
            AutomaticAuthenticate = false
        });

What have I missed?
