Description
Ben Kiefer (Migrated from SEC-3015) said:
Is there any way we can get a new exception bubbled out of the ActiveDirectoryLdapAuthenticationProvider for this, or even map it to the CredentialsExpiredException or an extension of this exception?
Right now, it ends up leaving as a BadCredentialsException, and then I need to parse that exception and do the same routing as the CredentialsExpiredException.
Thanks!

Start with ActiveDirectoryLdapAuthenticationProvider and trace how the LDAP PASSWORD_NEEDS_RESET code becomes a BadCredentialsException. Compare the requested CredentialsExpiredException or extension behavior; done means callers no longer need to parse BadCredentialsException for this condition.
