It used to be when you created a page, you could set a property to require the page to be seen only when logged in and if someone tried to access it, it would go to the 401 error. Now (in 4.2), I have pages that I want to be visible on when logged in, but I have no idea how to route to a login page. I have set security on the pages for the correct roles, but users trying to access the page when not logged in, get a "this type of page is not served" error. What is the correct way to handle secured pages in 4.2?

Hi Allen,

I am not sure if I understand you, but I guess that you need a way to redirect user from "this type of page is not served" error page to login page. This can be done by inserting few lines in web.config:

<system.webServer>

<httpErrors errorMode="Custom" existingResponse="Replace">

<clear />

<error statusCode="404" path="404page.aspx" responseMode="Redirect"/>

<error statusCode="403" path="403page.aspx" responseMode="Redirect"/>

</httpErrors>

...

If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
