# Disable detailed error responses in IIS

> Configure IIS Manager to show detailed HTTP errors only for local requests and redirect remote requests to custom error pages, reducing the security risk.

Detailed information about specific HTTP request errors is intended to help local administrators resolve errors as they occur. In certain cases, such information may identify the application, thus posing a security threat.

You can set up IIS to display detailed information only for local requests and have remote requests redirected to custom error pages.

    Launch IIS Manager.

  <Step title="Open the Error Pages feature">
