How to Enable Custom Errors to Mask Server Errors

Description: 

How to add Custom Errors on both the SecureAuth realm level and the Default Web Site so that errors due to invalid entries and Server Errors are masked.

Cause:  Custom errors are disabled by default which allows for further troubleshooting, but it also displays errors that you may not want outward facing.

Resolution: 

To enable realm level customerror:

Go to SecureAuth# > Logs tab > Custom Errors: ON

To enable default web site customerror:

Open Administrator Notepad > Go to D:\inetpub\wwwroot\web.config > Add the text below

<system.web>
        <customErrors defaultRedirect="customerror.htm" redirectMode="ResponseRewrite" mode="On" />
</system.web>

Find a customerror.htm page located in any D:\SecureAuth\SecureAuth# realm and move it to D:\inetpub\wwwroot if you want the same error as the realm level customerror.
