    ## Configure the redirection when the authz failure occurs. Lines starting with 'Modern Method' and 'Legacy Method'
    ## should be commented / uncommented as pairs. The modern method uses the session cookies configuration's authelia_url
    ## value to determine the redirection URL here. It's much simpler and compatible with the mutli-cookie domain easily.
    
    ## Modern Method: Set the $redirection_url to the Location header of the response to the Authz endpoint.
    # auth_request_set $redirection_url $upstream_http_location;
    
    ## Modern Method: When there is a 401 response code from the authz endpoint redirect to the $redirection_url.
    # error_page 401 =302 $redirection_url;
    
    ## Legacy Method: Set $target_url to the original requested URL.
    ## This requires http_set_misc module, replace 'set_escape_uri' with 'set' if you don't have this module.
    # set_escape_uri $target_url $scheme://$http_host$request_uri;
    set $target_url $scheme://$http_host$request_uri;
    
    ## Legacy Method: When there is a 401 response code from the authz endpoint redirect to the portal with the 'rd'
    ## URL parameter set to $target_url. This requires users update 'auth.example.com/' with their external authelia URL.
    error_page 401 =302 https://${config.mine.shared.settings.authelia.domain}/?rd=$target_url;
