> 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 receiver is destroyed and the credentials used are no longer valid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.
