Add ability for Realm authentication to tell the user the reason for auth failure





------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2004-01-29 23:23 -------
For the record, the design of the Realm API in this regard was intentional. 
Telling your user that they got the password wrong (for example) tells a
potential hacker that they got the username right.  That's a bad security practice.
