Les Hazlewood resolved SHIRO-143.
---------------------------------

    Fix Version/s: 1.0.0
       Resolution: Fixed

Hi Paul,

I moved a few other statements to trace and then moved that particular log statement to the DEBUG level.

A Realm throwing an exception is a normal condition and can happen enough that a WARN statement could flood the logs.  So there are two things you can do now with the resolution of this issue:

1) Enable the debug level for that class alone and you should see what you want, or 

2) It is ultimately the AuthenticationStrategy implementation to determine (in the afterAttempt implementation) if this is important enough to be logged, or the exception rethrown, etc - you could always subclass one of the existing strategies, and provide a log statement of your choosing if an exception occurs. 

HTH,

Les

> In ModularRealmAuthenticator.doMultiRealmAuthentication(...) when a Realm throws an Exception in getAuthenticationToken(...) it is logged with TRACE level.
> At the time of this issue creation (svn rev. 916946), it's at line 257.
> I wish this to be changed to WARNING level for convenience purpose when writing a custom Realm and because I feel that's more appropriate.
> WDYT ?
