authorization for sub directory

[viki]

Hi All,
Could anybody advise me for the following..
I want to restrict access to a subdirectory in an web application
which has "integrated windows authentication". I have set the
directory security for the sub directory for a particular group. But
when the link goes to the page in the sub directory it asks for the
credentials again. I want to redirect to "not accessible" page
whenever any page in the subdirecotry is accessed by other groups.

Thanks in advance,
Viki

You will need to override the 401 error status that ASP.NET is sending back,
and send back 200 instead (along with your custom text). When the webserver
sends a HTTP 401 status, the browser decides what to do, and most will
pop-up an authentication dialogue box (for the first three times - after
that they will display a message saying that you are not authorised to view
the page)

Cheers
