Issue

The API does not responds correctly to failed login attempts.

Current result

In case invalid or no credentials are provided, the API returns an XML with an error message. While this is not incorrect, the HTTP headers themselves are.

Expected result

The API should return with a 401 Header in case no login credentials are provided and with a 401 or 403 code if invalid credentials are provided.
401: Authentication required (specify username and password please)
403: Forbidden (do not try again with this user. It is invalid)
