All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
public class InsufficientAuthenticationException extends AuthenticationException
Thrown if an authentication request is rejected because the credentials are not sufficiently trusted.

AccessDecisionVoters will typically throw this exception if they are dissatisfied with the level of the authentication, such as if performed using a remember-me mechanism or anonymously. The ExceptionTranslationFilter will then typically cause the AuthenticationEntryPoint to be called, allowing the principal to authenticate with a stronger level of authentication.
