+Authentication expiry makes it possible for cluster administrators to limit the life span of client
+and peer connections within the cluster. The use of expirable credentials is most common when used in
+combination with token based authentication and authorization.
+
+Client connections are notified of expiry through the throwing of an `AuthenticationExpiredException`
+which is thrown in the implementations of `SecurityManager.authenticate` or `SecurityManager.authorize`.
+
+Clients starting with version 1.15 will do one automatic attempt to reconnect. Upon receiving a
+second `AuthenticationExpiredException` the exception will be propagated up the chain for the user to
+handle.
+
+Clients older than version 1.15 will also be able to do an automatic reconnect unless the connection
+is one of the following types where the exception will always be propagated up the chain:
