28 /**
29   * This exception is thrown when
30   * the particular flavor of authentication requested is not supported.
31   * For example, if the program
32   * is attempting to use strong authentication but the directory/naming
33   * supports only simple authentication, this exception would be thrown.
34   * Identification of a particular flavor of authentication is
35   * provider- and server-specific. It may be specified using
36   * specific authentication schemes such
37   * those identified using SASL, or a generic authentication specifier
38   * (such as "simple" and "strong").
39   *<p>
40   * If the program wants to handle this exception in particular, it
41   * should catch AuthenticationNotSupportedException explicitly before
42   * attempting to catch NamingException. After catching
43   * <code>AuthenticationNotSupportedException</code>, the program could
44   * reattempt the authentication using a different authentication flavor
45   * by updating the resolved context's environment properties accordingly.
46   * <p>
47   * Synchronization and serialization issues that apply to NamingException
48   * apply directly here.
