public class CredentialExpiredException
extends LoginException

Signals that a Credential has expired.

This exception is thrown by LoginModules when they determine that a Credential has expired. For example, a LoginModule authenticating a user in its login method may determine that the user's password, although entered correctly, has expired. In this case the LoginModule throws this exception to notify the application. The application can then take the appropriate steps to assist the user in updating the password.
