Client authentication error message
-----------------------------------

                 Key: APLO-125
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/APLO-125
             Project: ActiveMQ Apollo
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: apollo-broker
    Affects Versions: 1.0-beta6
            Reporter: David Corticchiato
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 1.0


The LoginModule returns a LoginException when an authentication fail. This 
exception can have different messages (the exception cause).

The problem is : when a client is already connected, he get the same error 
message as if the login/password was wrong : "Authentication failed. 
Credentials=[user=xxx]"

I think there is 2 possibility :

1) The more simple : Send the exception reason to client

2) The more secure (I think) : catch and send a differrent message for these 
exceptions : 

javax.security.auth.login.AccountException 
javax.security.auth.login.AccountExpiredException 
javax.security.auth.login.AccountLockedException (The one that interrests me in 
this case) 
javax.security.auth.login.AccountNotFoundException 
javax.security.auth.login.CredentialException 
javax.security.auth.login.CredentialExpiredException 
javax.security.auth.login.CredentialNotFoundException 
javax.security.auth.login.FailedLoginException
