Description

ZKCli commands give error message "Authentication is not valid" for insufficient permissions .(when KeeperException.NoAuthException is thrown). This is misleading message. 

Steps: to get the error

[zk: vm1:2181(CONNECTED) 0] create /b
Created /b
[zk: vm1:2181(CONNECTED) 1] getAcl /b
'world,'anyone
: cdrwa
[zk: vm1:2181(CONNECTED) 2] setAcl /b world:anyone:ra
[zk: vm1:2181(CONNECTED) 3] getAcl /b
'world,'anyone
: ra
[zk: vm1:2181(CONNECTED) 4] create /b/b1
Authentication is not valid : /b/b1
[zk: vm1:2181(CONNECTED) 5]

 

I think we should change  message "Authentication is not valid" to "Insufficient permission"
