About UNAUTH files

The .unauth file is a SiteMinder Unauthorized Message file used primarily by enterprise web servers. It acts as a text-based template to display custom error pages when a user fails an authentication check. This proprietary file is closely tied to SiteMinder, an access management system originally built by Netegrity. The biggest disadvantage of the .unauth format is its rigid server-side dependency. These files do not have a standard MIME type and require complex enterprise environments to render properly. Normal web browsers and desktop operating systems completely fail to open them, leaving users unable to read the underlying error messages or configurations. We highly recommend converting .unauth files to standard TXT or HTML targets. Conversion extracts the raw markup, allowing you to read the message universally, though you will lose active server-side execution variables. This format is notoriously difficult to process, and standard online converters fail because they do not recognize the obscure extension. If our analysis detects a supported underlying text or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.

Convert.Guru analyzes your UNAUTH file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The UNAUTH Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database.
