        return 302 /login?state=secure;
    }

       return 302 /accessDenied;
   }

but when server return 401 it is working perfectly, and when server return 403 then it show default 403 page, i wanted it to land on /accessDenied page. can you please help!!!

Your `error_page 403` is missing a space!! – Richard Smith Apr 23 '18 at 09:28 — Richard Smith, Apr 23 '18 at 09:28

I do not have the reputation to comment. The location line for the 403 should not have an equals sign.

i.e. location = @error403 { should be location @error403 {

The syntax for the commands you are using and how to use them (although your usage seems fine) are well summarised here, http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html
