Continuing our journey to upgrade from CAS 5.0 to 6.3, I have some
questions re logging differences I'm seeing.

Service not found in service registry
------------------------------------------------
With CAS 5.0, if a service was not registered, we see something like this
logged for an unauthorized service such as "https://www.foo.com":

WARN [org.apereo.cas.web.flow.ServiceAuthorizationCheck] - <Service
Management: missing service. Service [https://www.foo.com] is not found in
service registry.>

This is often very helpful for troubleshooting to be able to see what URL
an app is trying to use.

But with CAS6.3 we see:

ERROR
[org.apereo.cas.services.web.support.RegisteredServiceResponseHeadersEnforcementFilter]
- <Service unauthorized>
org.apereo.cas.services.UnauthorizedServiceException: Service unauthorized
        at
org.apereo.cas.services.RegisteredServiceAccessStrategyAuditableEnforcer.execute(RegisteredServiceAccessStrategyAuditableEnforcer.java:112)
~[cas-server-core-services-api-6.3.4.jar:6.3.4]
                at
org.apache.tomcat.util.threads.TaskThread$WrappingRunnable.run(TaskThread.java:61)
~[tomcat-util.jar:9.0.46]
                [...many many lines of stack trace...]
               at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:829) [?:?]

The unauthorized service is never identified, which removes a valuable
troubleshooting tool. Is there a way to include this information?

We definitely want to see things logged as ERRORs, but the stack trace
seems more appropriate for something at the DEBUG level?

Failed authentications
-----------------------------
With CAS 5.0, when a user authentication failed, we'd see something like
the following logged:

INFO [org.apereo.cas.authentication.PolicyBasedAuthenticationManager] -
<LdapAuthenticationHandler failed authenticating USERNAME>
WARN [org.apereo.cas.authentication.PolicyBasedAuthenticationManager] -
<Authentication has failed. Credentials may be incorrect or CAS cannot find
authentication handler that supports [USERNAME] of type
[UsernamePasswordCredential], which suggests a configuration problem.>
INFO [org.apereo.inspektr.audit.support.Slf4jLoggingAuditTrailManager] -
<Audit trail record BEGIN
=============================================================
WHO: USERNAME
WHAT: Supplied credentials: [USERNAME]
ACTION: AUTHENTICATION_FAILED
APPLICATION: CAS

CLIENT IP ADDRESS: 172.19.100.162
SERVER IP ADDRESS: 172.16.1.76
=============================================================
>

Whereas with CAS 6.3, we get:

INFO [org.apereo.cas.authentication.PolicyBasedAuthenticationManager] -
<[LdapAuthenticationHandler] exception details: [Invalid credentials].>
INFO [org.apereo.inspektr.audit.support.Slf4jLoggingAuditTrailManager] -
<Audit trail record BEGIN
=============================================================
WHO: USERNAME
WHAT: Supplied credentials: [UsernamePasswordCredential(username=USERNAME,
source=null, customFields={})]
ACTION: AUTHENTICATION_FAILED
APPLICATION: CAS
WHEN: Fri Jul 02 17:00:45 HST 2021
CLIENT IP ADDRESS: 10.17.133.2
SERVER IP ADDRESS: 10.17.133.14
=============================================================
>

~[tomcat-util.jar:9.0.46]

This 200+ line stack trace seems like overkill and not really helpful. Is
the solution to this just not logging
org.apereo.cas.web.flow.resolver.impl.DefaultCasDelegatingWebflowEventResolver
at the debug level?
