 * This exception is thrown when an authentication error occurs while

 * An authentication error can happen, for example, when the credentials

 * authenticate the user to the naming/directory service.
 *<p>
 * If the program wants to handle this exception in particular, it
 * should catch AuthenticationException explicitly before attempting to
 * catch NamingException. After catching AuthenticationException, the
 * program could reattempt the authentication by updating

 * appropriate credentials.

 * Synchronization and serialization issues that apply to NamingException
