> Is there a way to get the security layer to retry an auth if auth fail and only give up if a certain option is set ?
> Usecase is that we get the auth challenge, if we already have the username/password we give that back and in normal case that just works and everything is fine.
> In the case where the username/password is not correct we right now end up with an SASLException and need to redo the whole thing again :)
> Is there a way or could there be a way to make the system keep trying the auth until the user gives up (i.e. press Cancel) or we reach some maximum level of retries ?
> This would simplify the code a lot as far as I can see since no need to implement "retry" logic in our workflow then.
