IIS Authentication for static HTML pages

I have an IIS site hosting a bunch of static HTML pages. I want access to these to be controlled via AD group membership, and in the event the user is not in the AD group, they should be redirected to an access denied page.



I have made some progress on this, and my web.config currently looks like this.



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>

<system.webServer>
<modules>
<!-- Re-add auth modules (in their original order) to run for all static and dynamic requests -->
<remove name="FormsAuthentication" />
<add name="FormsAuthentication" type="System.Web.Security.FormsAuthenticationModule" />
<remove name="DefaultAuthentication" />
<add name="DefaultAuthentication" type="System.Web.Security.DefaultAuthenticationModule" />
<remove name="RoleManager" />
<add name="RoleManager" type="System.Web.Security.RoleManagerModule" />
<remove name="UrlAuthorization" />
<add name="UrlAuthorization" type="System.Web.Security.UrlAuthorizationModule" />
</modules>
</system.webServer>

<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow roles="AD GROUP NAME" />
<deny users="*" />
</authorization>
<customErrors>
<error redirect="access-denied.html" statusCode="401" />
</customErrors>
</system.web>

<location path="access-denied.html">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*" /> <!-- Allow all other users -->
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
<location path="assets">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*" /> <!-- Allow all other users -->
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>

</configuration>


This has locked the access to the pages down, and allows access to the access denied page, but it doesn't redirect unauthorised users to the access denied page, it prompts for credentials. Can anyone help me out with the redirect?

  • I think you should enable your custom error section by putting <customErrors mode="On">, otherwise it would be ignored

  • @LittleSweetSeas thanks for the suggestion, although I just tried this and it hasn't made any difference.

  • Ok - so you may check Authentication settings for your site in IIS, ensuring to enable Windows Authentication.

  • @LittleSweetSeas I can confirm anonymous and windows authentication are both enabled. Windows has NTLM set as first provider.
