--- Comment #2 from Christopher Schultz <ch...@christopherschultz.net> --- Perhaps the Realm interface could be adjusted to throw a variety of exceptions: - AuthenticationException (triggers lock-out) - CommunicationException (does not trigger lock-out) Honestly, if a Realm throws an exception during authentication, I would think that should always be considered a transient failure and NOT trigger lock-out. If the LDAPRealm is returning <false> when a communications exception occurs, I think it should instead throw an exception. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
