29 * This is the superclass of security-related exceptions
30 * thrown by operations in the Context and DirContext interfaces.
31 * The nature of the failure is described by the name of the subclass.
32 *<p>
33 * If the program wants to handle this exception in particular, it
34 * should catch NamingSecurityException explicitly before attempting to
35 * catch NamingException. A program might want to do this, for example,
36 * if it wants to treat security-related exceptions specially from
37 * other sorts of naming exception.
38 * <p>
39 * Synchronization and serialization issues that apply to NamingException
40 * apply directly here.
