* This exception is thrown when
* the particular flavor of authentication requested is not supported.
* For example, if the program
* is attempting to use strong authentication but the directory/naming
* supports only simple authentication, this exception would be thrown.
* Identification of a particular flavor of authentication is
* provider- and server-specific. It may be specified using
* specific authentication schemes such
* those identified using SASL, or a generic authentication specifier
* (such as "simple" and "strong").
*<p>
* If the program wants to handle this exception in particular, it
* should catch AuthenticationNotSupportedException explicitly before
* attempting to catch NamingException. After catching
* <code>AuthenticationNotSupportedException</code>, the program could
* reattempt the authentication using a different authentication flavor
* by updating the resolved context's environment properties accordingly.
* <p>
* Synchronization and serialization issues that apply to NamingException
* apply directly here.
