Hello! response.sendError with SC_UNAOTHORIZED is exactly the command I used successfully before switching to Tomcat 4.1.18. And no, we don't have a custom error-page in the web.xml-file. At least not in the web.xml-file which we created for our Web Application. I don't know if there might be something like that in the web.xml in the conf-directory of tomcat itself. As I will be on vacation for the next 5 days, I will bring up the subject after returning from that again.
However, I will look for such a custom error page definition. Maybe there is one as system-wide default.
