| 29 | * This exception is thrown when |
| 30 | * the particular flavor of authentication requested is not supported. |
| 31 | * For example, if the program |
| 32 | * is attempting to use strong authentication but the directory/naming |
| 33 | * supports only simple authentication, this exception would be thrown. |
| 34 | * Identification of a particular flavor of authentication is |
| 35 | * provider- and server-specific. It may be specified using |
| 36 | * specific authentication schemes such |
| 37 | * those identified using SASL, or a generic authentication specifier |
| 38 | * (such as "simple" and "strong"). |
| 39 | *<p> |
| 40 | * If the program wants to handle this exception in particular, it |
| 41 | * should catch AuthenticationNotSupportedException explicitly before |
| 42 | * attempting to catch NamingException. After catching |
| 43 | * <code>AuthenticationNotSupportedException</code>, the program could |
| 44 | * reattempt the authentication using a different authentication flavor |
| 45 | * by updating the resolved context's environment properties accordingly. |
| 46 | * <p> |
| 47 | * Synchronization and serialization issues that apply to NamingException |
| 48 | * apply directly here. |
