Map 401.* (401.1 at least) errors to the custom error page you've
created.
Use Internet Service Manager -> Right-click on any item (DWS, a
virtual root) or select Master WWW properties (it depends on your task
scope) -> Custom errors tab.

Hi DJ,

I think KP and Alexander have given two solutions on two scenarioes for
you.

If you use the asp, you can check some session variables to see whether the
customer has the permission to this page. If not, redirect the customer to
your custom error page as KP suggested.

In other scenario which has no asp files, you can customize the error page
in the main property as Alexander has suggested. In addition, you can also
customize the error page in the site property. You can disable your ie's
"show friendly http message" choice in Tools->options...->Advanced of IE,
then access your protected page and check the result http status code; for
example 401.1 etc. Then you click into custom errors tab from the property
window fo your web site and choose the error, press Edit... button to set
your custom error page to the specified error.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any further question.
