 41    *
 42    * <p>
 43    * A {@link LockedException} must be thrown if an account is locked and the
 44    * <code>AuthenticationManager</code> can test for account locking.
 45    * </p>
 46    *
 47    * <p>
 48    * A {@link BadCredentialsException} must be thrown if incorrect
 49    * credentials are presented. Whilst the above exceptions are optional, an
 50    * <code>AuthenticationManager</code> must <B>always</B> test credentials.
 51    * </p>
 52    *
 53    * <p>
 54    * Exceptions should be tested for and if applicable thrown in the order
 55    * expressed above (ie if an account is disabled or locked, the
 56    * authentication request is immediately rejected and the credentials
 57    * testing process is not performed). This prevents credentials being
 58    * tested against disabled or locked accounts.
