> Project: Geode

> Components: client queues

>
> 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.
