----------------------------------

             Summary: SlingAuthenticator should post an event for login failures
                 Key: SLING-7939
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-7939
             Project: Sling
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: Auth Core 1.4.2
            Reporter: Eric Norman
            Assignee: Eric Norman
             Fix For: Auth Core 1.4.4


The login failure events would be useful for the implementation of a failed 
login throttling solution to prevent brute force dictionary attacks against 
sling to guess user passwords.  An unlimited number of failed logins should not 
be allowed, but we need some way to gather the information to thwart it.
