I want to customise the 403 error page users get when trying to browse their
mailbox in Exchange2003 when web access has not been granted to them. The
one that says "You might not have permission to view this directory or page
using the credentials you supplied"
The properties of the page displayed in the browser say it's just 403.htm,
but no amount of changing that page on the server in
c:\winnt\help\iishelp\common makes any difference. Also, there doesn't seem
to be a listing for that 403 page in the Custom Errors section of the
default website properties, either.

Anyone? Anyone...?

TIA

Paul.

If you open the various 403-x.htm pages, you can see the conditions that
invoke each particular page (eg 403.4 is SSL Required).

Generally an access denied page however is a 401 error, and for most
browsers you can not choose what the browser displays (you can customise the
401 error on the server, but it is up to the browser to decide what to
display to the user). Most browsers will display a login prompt 3 times, and
if the server sends back a 401 error the 4th time, the browser will display
a "you are not authorised to view this page" type error.
