           Summary: Enhance logging of security failures
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: Nightly Build
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: Connector:HTTP
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


When failing either authentication or access control, Tomcat only logs a debug 
message. It would be very valuable to log these failures as warnings. This 
would enable system administrators to watch for patterns, such as password 
crack attempts or repeated attempts to access unauthorized resources.

In addition to upgrading the log entry to a warning, all appropriate data about 
the failure should be logged, such as the IP, user, resource, etc.

I believe this change could be made in the AuthenticatorBase class, which would 
enhance all subclasses.
