-----------------------------------
Summary: Gateway senders can shut down due to authentication
failures
Key: GEODE-6177
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-6177
Project: Geode
Issue Type: Bug
Components: security, wan
Reporter: Ryan McMahon
When a gateway sender connects to a gateway receiver and authentication is
used, the receiver first determines if the provided credentials are valid. If
they are valid, then event processing/dispatching is allowed.
However, once the initial authentication is performed, it is possible that the
gateway sender stops processing events if the connection with the receiver is
destroyed and the credentials used are no longer valid (disallowed, password
changed, etc).
This is an edge case where the ack reader thread is the first to attempt to
acquire the connection, rather than the dispatcher thread. The ack reader
thread currently does not have the proper retry logic for authentication
exceptions, while the dispatcher thread does. We should ensure that connection
retries occur regardless of which thread gets the authentication exception.
