    In the last paragraph the document notes:

    

    "
  X-NONE
  X-NONE
  
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
  
  MicrosoftInternetExplorer4
  
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
  

When a
      server can not resolve the attributes in the device credential to
      a unique
      client identification, it may choose to reject the request with an
      error code
      of operation failed and reason code of item not found. "

    

    I think it would be more appropriate for the reason to actually be
    "Authentication not successful" given that the error is within the
    authentication part of the request header. Otherwise a KMIP client
    will not be able to determine if the actual operation failed with
    "Item not found" or if the authentication check failed.
