CustomErrors tag provides information about custom error messages for an ASP.NET application. The customErrors element can be defined at any level in the application file hierarchy.
Code:

<customErrors defaultRedirect ="Error.aspx" mode ="Off">
   <error statusCode ="401" redirect ="Unauthorized.aspx"/>

</customErrors>

The customErrors section consists of defaultRedirect and mode attributes which specify the default redirect page and the on/off mode respectively.
The subsection of customErrors section allows redirecting to specified page depending on the error status code.

400 Bad Request
401 Unauthorized
404 Not Found
408 Request Timeout
