SharePoint 2013 custom access denied page
We have a requriement wherein users who don't have access to our custom SP2013 site should get to see a custom access denied page instead of the default access denied page. Basically as part of this ...
I was wondering if there was any better or alternative approach the HTTPModule approach is quite dated and requires deployment in the server farm . Also, we did NOT want to have a solution for the entire farm, instead just of our site collection or at the max for the web application containing the site collection.
I know HTTPModule technique is quite dated and covered around the Internet...but think about your requirement: you want to check, no matter the page the user is trying to access, if he can acccess to the site or not...so I don't see how are you going to achive this using client side coding...another alternative to the HTTPModule is a custom hidden control you add to the master page of the site so enabling/disabling the specific feature will add this functionality to your sites or not
I would rather try the following option, looks to be meeting my current requirement.

Will updated here with the results...
- i.e. using SPWebApplication.UpdateMappedPage method
- Much better approach...I didn't remember this solution...I'm getting old :-(. The only downside here is that it still requires to deploy stuff in the server side.
