             Summary: Old clients with durable queues should fail early if 
AuthenticationExpiredException is thrown
                 Key: GEODE-10243
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-10243
             Project: Geode
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: client queues
            Reporter: Dan Smith


As part of the changes for GEODE-9457, when an AuthenticationExpiredException 
is thrown from the SecurityManager during message dispatching, we send a 
message to 1.15 and newer clients asking them to re-authenticate.

For 1.14 and older clients, we do not send a message. Instead, we just wait for 
the {color:#00875a}reauthenticate.wait.time{color} to elapse and then close the 
connection.

The net effect of this is that if users are doing cache operations from 1.14 
and older clients, and their SecurityManager expires the credentials of the old 
clients, they will sometimes see their clients re-authenticate themselves in 
that time window. This will mislead users into thinking that re-authentication 
works with old clients and client queues, even though we [have documented that 
we don't support 
it|https://github.com/apache/geode/blob/09b8b46ef2fa1d463be885c6fa39dbfe1f0e3e83/geode-docs/managing/security/implementing_authentication_expiry.html.md.erb#L35].

Instead of allowing re-authentication to sometimes work in this unsupported use 
case, we should always fail so that is clear to users that this use case is not 
supported.
