--------------------------------------

             Summary: Authentication failure due to a login module misconfiguration is not reported if principal is null
                 Key: SECURITY-859
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SECURITY-859
             Project: PicketBox 
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: PicketBox
    Affects Versions: PicketBox_4_0_19.SP5, PicketBox_4_0_21.Beta2
            Reporter: Ivo Studensky
            Assignee: Peter Skopek


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.
