)

Rails.application.config.middleware.insert_after(
  ActionDispatch::Session::CookieStore, Warden::Manager
) do |manager|
  manager.default_strategies :gcp_iap_google_jwt_header
  manager.failure_app = UnauthorizedController
end

Your UnauthorizedController may look like

# app/controllers/unauthorized_controller.rb

class UnauthorizedController < ActionController::Metal
  def self.call(env)
    env["warden"].errors.each do |message|
      Rails.logger.warn("[unauthorized] reason: #{message}")
    end
    @respond ||= action(:respond)
    @respond.call(env)
  end

  def respond
    self.response_body = "Unauthorized Action"
    self.status = :unauthorized
  end
end
