Ralf Hauser updated DIRSERVER-640:
----------------------------------
Attachment: AuthenticationService.java.patch
see also DIRSERVER-649
> bring error hints from CustomAuthenticators extending AbstractAuthenticator back to the client.
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DIRSERVER-640
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-640
> Project: Directory ApacheDS
> Type: Improvement
> Components: ldap
> Versions: 1.0-RC3
> Environment: windows/linux
> Reporter: Ralf Hauser
> Attachments: AuthenticationService.java.patch
>
> For the authentication, I use a CustomAuthenticator that extends AbstractAuthenticator.
> If the authentication fails I use LdapAuthenticationException or LdapNoPermissionException and I appreciate a lot to be able to provide some hint (String explanation) why the exception was thrown.
> Unfortunately, this hint never reaches the client. I only sees "error code 49 - Bind failed" - the equivalent is visible in the server log as
> <<Ldap Result
> Result code : (ResultCodeEnum[INVALIDCREDENTIALS=49]) invalidCredentials
> Matched DN : 'null'
> Error message : 'Bind failed'>>
> It appears that the culprit is org.apache.directory.server.core.authn.AuthenticationService.bind(NextInterceptor next, Name bindDn, byte[] credentials, List mechanisms, String saslAuthId) throws NamingException
> where that expception is caught, neither its class is analyzed in detail nor is there any attempt to use "explanations" when re-throwing even though an LdapAuthenticationException constructor does exist that takes a "msg" for explanations.
> Therefore my suggestion: please make sure that it is possible to provide a user more information by optionally appending an "explantion" to the 'Bind failed' a client currently sees in an ldap client.
