Description:
If you're not logged in and request a page, you should get an authentication page but not an error message.

(It's not an error--you just need to login.)

How to repeat:
While not logged in:

1) browse to any page other than the login page (e.g. http://some_host:18080/merlin/Monitor.action). 
2) A very bright error box will display:  	
	
  There was an error.

    * You must log in to access the requested resource.

(it's not an error)

Suggested fix:
just authenticate and move on--it's not an error

Hid error message unless this was a json request. Patch sent.
