      boolean onAuthenticationFailure(@Nonnull HttpAuthenticationFailureContext context) throws javax.servlet.ServletException, IOException
      Callback method that is called by the system on authentication failure. The reason for authentication failure can be retrieved through HttpAuthenticationFailureContext.getAuthenticationException().

      Implementors can prevent other failure handlers further down the chain from being evaluated by returning true. They should only do so if the handler has written to or redirected the HTTP response.

      Parameters:
      context - a context object holding the request, response, authentication details and authentication exception.
      Returns:
      true if the request was fully handled and no other failure handlers should be evaluated. Otherwise false.
      Throws:
      javax.servlet.ServletException - may be thrown by implementations
      IOException - may be thrown by implementations
