Error page for basic authentication

["Harris, Darren" <da...@uk.nomura.com>]

This question has been asked a couple of times but with no satisfactory
answer.

I'm running tomcat 3.2.3 and using basic authentication.  How do I redirect
to an error page if the user fails to authenticate? Currently a blank page
is displayed.

I have tried putting an <error-page> entry for 403 in web.xml but this
doesn't work.  Adding an <error-page> for 401 (which was previously
suggested) prevents the basic authentication from working at all but directs
you to the error page specified instead.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Darren
