Description Anthony D'Atri 2025-10-08 16:01:31 UTC 
Description of problem:

RGW returns wrong HTTP status code for expired STS token.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

From the customer:

RGW is returning http 403 status code instead of returning 401 status code:
We've noticed when a STS token is expired the RGW is returning the wrong status code back, currently it looks like it returns a 403 but is should return a 401 status code since the credentials expired.
