Something from the user list of note for development.
The current method does something like this when handling a
communication exception at authenticate time:
/ If not a "Socket closed." error then rethrow.
if (e.getMessage().indexOf("Socket closed") < 0)
throw(e);
This seems to have two problems 1) e.getMessage() is sometimes null
with some LDAP providers. 2) some LDAP providers set the exception to
actually be "connection closed" (retrieved by "e.toString()")
Just forwarding this on for the user, since this code currently has
some problems that ought to be fixed. (I have a vested interest being a
heavy user of JNDIRealm).
For a stopgap measure, one could do the following I guess:
if (e.toString().indexOf("closed") < 0)
throw(e);
Though as the bug report points out there may be yet other error
messages given by other LDAP providers, and I don't know if "closed" is
too general to check on or not.

Well, I understand this is now a bug:
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19864
Was this fixed in the 4.1.27 version? Can't seem to determine if it was
based on the README in the download.
