      When an LDAP realm is wrapped in a caching realm, failed connections to LDAP can be swallowed.

      As an example, see https://github.com/wildfly-security/wildfly-elytron/blob/master/auth/realm/ldap/src/main/java/org/wildfly/security/auth/realm/ldap/LdapSecurityRealm.java#L159C17-L180.

      When registerIdentityChangeListener is called after instantiating the caching realm and an exception occurs in this method, the exception is swallowed. Then, later when using SASL, we'll just get ELY05053: Callback handler failed for unknown reason instead of something like ELY1125 Ldap-backed realm failed to obtain context.

      We should check to see if there's a way to prevent the exception from being swallowed.
