Forms authentication: how to redirect unauthorized users?

[BJ Lap]

Hi,

I implemented forms authentication in my web site.
This works fine but for one thing:
If an authenticated user tries to navigate to a page for which this user has
no access,
(this is specified in web.config files in several directories in the web
site), the user is redirected to the logon page. But I want the user to be
redirected to an 'acces denied' page. How can that be accomplished?

Thanks,
Bert-Jan

You need to check on your login page to see if Request.IsAuthenticated. This
will tell you they've been redirected and they're already logged in. You
can then let them know they've tried to access a page that they don't have
access to.
