Answer
When WebSEAL encounters an error, it will look to see if an error page with the same name as the error code exists, and if it does it will use it.
If for example you want special handling of the 0x38cf0963 error code (Your browser supplied NTLM authentication data. NTLM is not supported by WebSEAL.) then you can create 0x38cf0963 in the errors directory for your locale(s) (such as /opt/pdweb/www-default/lib/errors/C) and customize this page as you wish. Then when WebSEAL encounters this error condition, this new error page will be returned to the browser.
Please note when doing this to make sure that the ownership and permissions on the new file match the default ownership and permissions for the other error pages (shown above). If the file has too much permissions assigned, WebSEAL will consider it unsecure and will not use it.
