Authentication Error logging information

Hi, trying to do SSL authentication. I have my basic authentication + certificate + key, but am receiving a 403 with a pretty uninformative message:

{
  "status" 403,
  "reason": "AUTHENTICATION_ERROR",
  "message": "Access Denied.  Please consult the VDP documentation for providing your App with the proper auth credentials for the APIs being accessed."
}

I need to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Help appreciated.

Re: Authentication Error logging information

So I solved my issue, it was due to issues with TLS v1.2. The error response didn't really indicate that, and was made even more confusing by the fact that I was getting a 403 error thrown, which indicates an Authorization error, but with an error message indicating an Authentication error.

 

Might be prudent to return a 401 in case of an Authentication error, and in my case, where it seems to be a TLS issue, probably should be a different error code entirely?
