> Any misconfiguration of a login module leading to authentication failure used to be reported at trace level for anonymous user (principal == null) until SECURITY-660. Right now it is reported at debug level, but only if principal != null. 
> I am going to propose a fix to report the cause of such a failure at debug level despite the principal value. So that customers can see for example "javax.security.auth.login.LoginException: unable to find LoginModule class: ..." in their logs instead of "PBOX000016: Access denied" only.
