javax.security.sasl
public class AuthenticationException extends SaslException
This exception is thrown by a SASL mechanism implementation to indicate that the SASL exchange has failed due to reasons related to authentication, such as an invalid identity, passphrase, or key.
Note that the lack of an AuthenticationException does not
mean that the failure was not due to an authentication error. A SASL
mechanism implementation might throw the more general {@link SaslException}
instead of AuthenticationException if it is unable to determine
the nature of the failure, or if does not want to disclose the nature of the
failure, for example, due to security reasons.
