    • If you select Basic, you can customize an error message to display as part of the default error page rendered in the end user's browser if rule evaluation fails. This page is among the templates you can modify with your own branding or other information. If you select Basic, provide the following:
      1. In the Error Response Code field, enter the HTTP status response code to send if rule evaluation fails.

        The default is 403.

      4. From the Error Response Content Type list, select the type of content for the error response.

        This lets the client properly display the response.
