I think that there are two problems here: first, the message for
Unauthorized is wrong; it should be something like "You are not
authorized to do X". The second exception should most likely be
'AuthenticationFailure', and should have the error text from the
Authentication exception.

I've seen confusion between authz and authn in many projects; looks like
OpenStack is no different, unfortunately.
