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 commonly used ExceptionTranslationFilter will thus cause the AuthenticationEntryPoint to be called, allowing the principal to authenticate with a stronger level of authentication.
