Resolution
WORKAROUND:
The passwd command message is coming from the operating system and not Authentication Services therefore this is not something we can change. However as a workaround I would suggest using the vastool passwd <username> command which does return the correct message when a wrong password is typed:-sh-4.1$ vastool passwd gboudreauPassword for gboudreau@i.ts.hal.ca.qsft:ERROR: Failed to change credential:Error 1: VAS_ERR_KRB5: Kerberos errorFailed to obtain credentials.
