I'm not sure what you mean. Any user who is not authenticated will be
automatically redirected to login.aspx -- that is if they try to access a
web page in a protected folder they will be automatically redirected to
login.aspx.

A typical login.aspx page would have a textbox for the user to enter his/her
name, a textbox to enter their password, and a button to click after they
enter their name and password. Once they click the button, if you don't
want to authenticate them possibly because their name is not in some list of
ok-to-authenticate users, etc., then you of course don't have to
authenticate them. At that point, you can display a message that says
something like "you are an unknown person -- authorization denied".

Hope this explanation is what you were looking for!
