We have an IIS site (MOSS 2007) that uses Windows Authentication. When a user that has forgotten their password tries to login the servers keeps sending 401 requests. This means on IE the user gets three prompts before IE displays a blank page, on Firefox the user is prompted over and over until they give up.
We would like to change the behavior so if a user fails to login three times in a row we send them a redirect to a different site, instead of another 401
Forms authentication is not an option; the site has to remain on windows authentication to allow for SSO capabilities and certain sharepoint functions.
Is there any way to tweak the IIS behavior to do this?
