Description

Currently the errors a user gets on the Web Management login screen are very cryptic.

• 401 Unauthorized (logging in with an unknown user name) is represented as RequestError: Unable to load service/sasl status: 401
• 403 Forbidden (logging in as a known user who does not have the ACL rights to access management) is represented as SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data

Also, we should check the WebUI's behaviour in the case where the authenticationProvider is in ERRORed state.
