jaas module should throw generic FailedLoginException 
------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: KARAF-956
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-956
             Project: Karaf
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Freeman Fang
            Assignee: Freeman Fang


currently it always throw very detailed exception like
throw new FailedLoginException("User does not exist");
and 
throw new FailedLoginException("Password for " + user + " does not match");
though it's very useful during development or debug, it can leak hint to 
malicious client, we need
provide a configurable way to throw FailedLoginException with/without detailed 
message.
Likely add a property in etc/org.apache.karaf.jaas.cfg, the default value is 
just throw very generic FailedLoginException without detailed message, this 
would be more safe for real productions env.
