    Description

      When I misconfigured http-authentication-factory, e.g. with unreal protocol "DOES_NOT_EXIST" I get http status code 403.

      I think 500 would be more appropriate here, as server is misconfigured and can't authenticate.
      403 means user has not appropriate roles.

      There should be also some log message in log, that http authentication factory is misconfigured. Now there is just
