Spring Security with Active Directory Provider throwing Wrapped NamingException ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: WFLY-4151 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-4151 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Bug Components: Naming Affects Versions: 8.2.0.Final Environment: Multiple Reporter: Bob Paulin Assignee: David Lloyd There is a bug logged against Spring Security for this issue as well https://jira.spring.io/browse/SEC-2754 Providing the ActiveDirectoryLdapAuthenticationProvider with incorrect credentials causes internal server error when running on JBoss. This is because ActiveDirectoryLdapAuthenticationProvider only considers top-level LdapExceptions, whereas JBoss seems to wrap exceptions thrown by InitialLdapContext into a top-level NamingException. The issue does provide a suggested patch to spring security however I don't understand why Wildfly is wrapping the LdapExceptions when it did not appear to do this as late as JBoss EAP 6.2.0.GA
