Here is my change as a patch:

Attachment: set_forbidden_status_in_restful_api_for_incorrect_credentials.diff
Description: Binary data

There's nothing really to forbid.  You didn't log in using one of the standard HTTP Authentication mechanisms.  You're trying to obtain a TGT and gave bad input.

Currently TicketResource returns http status CLIENT_ERROR_BAD_REQUEST
regardless of why the ticket creation request failed. Should it not
return status  CLIENT_ERROR_FORBIDDEN if authentication failed due to
bad credentials? The exception is chained so to patch this I guess I
have to figure out how to handle chained exceptions.
