We're using Form based JNDIRealm Authentication against an LDAP server
and it's all working fine except for one issue. When a user enters an
invalid username/password they get sent to the error page, but they also
get sent to the same error page if the LDAP server is down. Is there a
way to trap

I tested this out at one time but it was never placed in production. My
terse notes, which might be leaving something out,
I'm looking at the org.apache.catalina.authenticator.FormAuthenticator
class from the 7.0.29 src. This portion of the authenticate method
starting around line 301 is where I'm having a little problem:
if (log.isDebugEnabled()) {
log.debug("Authentication of '" + username + "' was successful")

We are using the delivered JNDIRealm class for LDAP authN in Tomcat
7.0.29 but we're running into some problems when the back end LDAP is a
little slow (another issue being addressed separately) and having
threads stack up and timeout. A thread dump shows we end up with a lot
of blocked threads,
