Changed Status |
Abstract: An incorrect error message is returned in case of Authentication failure.
Problem:
In case of Authentication failure current code throws a CannotConnectException. The specific error message returned is “Cannot connect to: Unauthorized access". This needs to be changed to indicate Authentication failure instead.
Solution:
Currently the CannotConnectException constructor takes a hostname parameter and prefixes the message “Cannot connect to : “. The constructor will be fixed to accept a message string instead of hostname. There are three occurrences of CannotConnectException throws that will be fixed to reflect this change. In case of authentication failure, the message “Authentication failed.” will be used.
