basic authentication error page

[Vladimer Shioshvili]

Can i define the error page for the basic authentication? amd if yes, 
where? i have tried to define error-page for code 401, but realized that i 
am using constraint on everything , thus i am guessing that error page may 
be falling under the constraint as well. (not sure about that though..)

Thus, how can i  modify HTTP Status 401 - Unauthorized to be what i want it 
to be?

PS. i am trying to define security constraint in conf/web.xml for every context

I've tried to look for the solution on the web, but didn't have any luck. 
Any help is greatly appreciated.

hi Barry,
if you want to customize your error page or login page
you had better use form based authentication.
below is a website where you can get enough information about that:

hope it helps :)

Basic Authentication error page? [repost]

[Barry L. White]

OS: W2K
Tomcat: 4.0

I have been searching through the Tomcat and Sun docs to try to find out if
it is possible to have an error page with BASIC authentication.  I would
prefer to show a custom error page when a user mistypes there username or
password, rather than general the ERROR 401 page.

I know this is possible with Apache, but how do I do it with Tomcat?

In my web.xml I have:

  
   inqadmin
   /admin/*
  
  
   inqadmin
  
 

 
  BASIC
  Test
 

I can find no docs that say anything about having a  within the
.
I have tryed this both in and outside of the :

  401
  /errors/401.html
 

But I get a error 500.

Thanks for your time,
Barry
