Description

We have a negative test case for Balancer which looks for a report of a not-authorized user attempting to run Balancer. This recently failed because the return string changed, the authentication "(auth:KERBEROS)" is no longer sent. The same case failed last December because this auth substr was added, in 205. The previous string looks like this:

'Received an IO exception: User <USER> (auth:KERBEROS) is not authorized for protocol interface'

And now looks like this:

'Received an IO exception: User <USER> is not authorized for protocol interface'

While a trivial matter for the product, this fails our test automation, requiring a follow up to confirm the change is actually expected, update the tests, so forth. This makes the change non-trivial for validation and test maintenance purposes, so it would be very good to have a definitive understanding of what to expect going forward.
Do we expect additional changes here?
