Description

If the cluster is mis-configured so that backups do not have access to the primary (e.g. by using an ACL that does not provide full access to the ha-username) then the primary will close attempted connections with a connection-forced error.

This will close the backup link, so it no longer attempts to connect, rendering the backup useless. There is a warning message but its not obvious that this indicates a fatal problem:
