Enhance HttpConnector: Display/return authentication exceptions from the repository server
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: DSY-419
         URL: http://issues.cocoondev.org//browse/DSY-419
     Project: Daisy
        Type: Improvement
  Components: Repository  
    Versions: public - 1.5    
 Reporter: Min Idzelis
    Priority: Minor


When a user fails to login, the authenticator throws an AuthenticationException. This exception is caught by the DaisyUserRealm which logs the problem on the server. It would be more useful if the AuthenticationException was returned as the response like it is done in other situations. Seems all that needs to be done is to use the existing utilities: HttpUtil.sendCustomError()

It would be good to know exactly WHY the user failed to login. (Username doesn't exist - password incorrect - LDAP server down, etc)
