> We extend from AuthorizingRealm and when we have a bug in our implementation, the exception gets swallowed by AbstractAuthenticator. 
> A comment in the code mentions it needs a warn log, but no such statement is present:
>             if (ae == null) {
>                 //Exception thrown was not an expected AuthenticationException.  Therefore it is probably a little more
>                 //severe or unexpected.  So, wrap in an AuthenticationException, log to warn, and propagate:
>                 String msg = "Authentication failed for token submission [" + token + "].  Possible unexpected " +
>                         "error? (Typical or expected login exceptions should extend from AuthenticationException).";
>                 ae = new AuthenticationException(msg, t);
>             }
