You have to create a custom class to override the default Devise behavior:

  class CustomFailure < Devise::FailureApp
    def redirect_url
      #return super unless [:worker, :employer, :user].include?(scope) #make it specific to a scope
       new_user_session_url(:subdomain => 'secure')
    end

    # You need to override respond to eliminate recall
    def respond
      if http_auth?
        http_auth
      else
        redirect
      end
    end
  end

And in your config/initializers/devise.rb:

  config.warden do |manager|
    manager.failure_app = CustomFailure
  end

But I suggest check out the Devise documentation :)
