[Bug 1726736] [NEW] "no auth token" debug logs are confusing

 

Public bug reported:

When things go wrong and the regular info-level logs are not informative
enough, it is common to turn on debug logging to see what's up. When we
do that, we see this message spamming the logs for auth requests:

"There is either no auth token in the request or the certificate issuer
is not trusted. No auth context will be set."

It's actually a benign message but its meaning is totally unclear and to
the untrained eye it looks like the cause of auth problems. We should
either get rid of the message or reword it to make it clear what it
means.

It looks like it's perhaps a holdover from the PKI days and could just
be removed but I'm not sure.
