Should I set authentication mode to forms or None? If I set to none then it doesn't get redirected to my login page. what is the best approach to this?

Are you using WIF or Katana for your cookie management?

Well, you can set it to None, but then no redirects happen to your login page (as you saw). IIRC, you can still the forms auth redirect and it will kick in and redirect your users (even though you're not using forms auth for actually logging in the users). The other option is to build a module to redirect on a 401 response.
