Description
## Support Question
I am starting the work for my very first Symphony bot. I generated a sample application as per the getting started page (using `yo @finos/symphony`). I also put my RSA private key in the config. I then start testing the bot on Symphony web ui. It turns out that the bot can sometimes receive the message and respond; at other times the bot has no log printed out and I receive "Failed to retrieve authentication information" on the Symphony web ui.
Appreciate any comments on this issue.

Research direction
Start with the generated application from the getting started page using `yo @finos/symphony`, then review its config and RSA private key setup. Reproduce the intermittent behavior from the Symphony web UI and inspect whether the bot receives a message or logs anything. Done means identifying the cause of the authentication failure and confirming reliable message handling.
