I successfully implemented role based authorization in ASP.NET. When a person does not have the needed role he gets to see an error page for 401.2 not authorized. What I would like to accomplish now is to have a custom 401 page in my application and have it redirected there via settings in the web.config. I tried this:
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="GenericErrorPage.htm"><error statusCode="401" redirect="NoAccess.htm" /></customErrors>
But this does not get caught. Do I have to override it in IIS instead? I hope not as that would make getting things deployed harder
