* This exception is thrown when an authentication error occurs while

* 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
* the resolved context's environment properties with the appropriate
* appropriate credentials.
* <p>
* Synchronization and serialization issues that apply to NamingException
* apply directly here.
