The problem is exactly as the error message says - the client didn't
advertise support for TLS, and your configuration doesn't allow
authentication over an unencrypted link.

Your two options are to enable TLS on the client (good idea), or set
the variable AUTH_SERVER_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS (bad idea).
