Class InvalidCredentialException

All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
Direct Known Subclasses:
InvalidPasswordException, UnknownUidException

public class InvalidCredentialException extends ConnectorSecurityException
InvalidCredentialException signals that user authentication failed.

This exception is thrown by Connector if authentication failed. For example, a Connector throws this exception if the user entered an incorrect password.

This exception should be used only when incorrect credential is entered by a user, for example in authenticate() method. It should NOT be used in case that connection to the resource cannot be established because connection credentials are wrong. Use ConnectionFailedException instead.

Note: Since framework version 1.5.0.0 it is recommended to use InvalidAttributeValueException in case that credential change operation failed. Please indicate credential as an affected attribute in the exception.
