[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (SECURITY-703) Picketbox logs an ERROR on each failed login

[Stefan Guilhen (JIRA)]

     [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SECURITY-703?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Stefan Guilhen closed SECURITY-703.
-----------------------------------

    Fix Version/s: PIcketBox_4_0_15.Final
       Resolution: Done


I've changed the log level of failed login attempts to DEBUG to avoid polluting the AS logs with error messages. Users can still investigate failed logins by adding a org.jboss.security category with level = DEBUG.
