web.config

Hello,

i have a web application with Windows Authentication enabled. In my web.config I restrict the access with the following code:

 <authorization>
  <allow users="rba\eigg"/>
  <deny users="*"/>
 </authorization>

When I call the application in a browser, the IE's standard login dialog pops up and if I close it by cancel I get the HTTP 401 (Access is denied) error page.

Is there a way to suppress the login dialog so that the user gets the 401 error page directly?

Thanks! Rocko
