Previously communication errors with LDAP were only logged at debug level. Communication errors (along with other non-authenticated related NamingExceptions) are now logged as error messages. We created an InternalAuthetnicationServiceException to represent errors that should be logged as errors to distinguish between internal and external authentication failures. For example, we do not want an OpenID Provider being able to report errors that cause our logs to fill up. However, an LDAP system is internal and should be trusted so logging at an error level makes sense.
