Custom Error - Access Denied

[Michael Hetrick]

If I set authorization in a web.config file to only allow certain
individuals access to pages, those users who are not named receive an access
denied message:

---------------------------------
Access is denied.
Description: An error occurred while accessing the resources required to
serve this request. The server may not be configured for access to the
requested URL.

Error message 401.2.: You do not have permission to view this directory or
page using the credentials you supplied. Contact the Web server's
administrator for help.
---------------------------------

Where is this error coming from? Can this error be added to the
<customErrors> tag in the web.config or is this an exception that needs to
be handled in code?

Thanks for the assistance.

Hi Michael,

Thank you for using the community. The error comes from your ASP.NET
appliaction when a user can't be authenticated. We can handle it within
setting <customErrors>. For a sample, you may refer to:
