Having the same error with xcrun altool. Even retrying yields the same error. However the file somehow got uploaded anyhow, and showed up in App Store Connect after an hour or so, even though authentication failed. Hopefully it's just an incorrect error message and not a security hole.
{
message: 'Unable to authenticate.',
userInfo: {
NSLocalizedDescription: 'Unable to authenticate.',
NSLocalizedFailureReason: 'Unable to authenticate.'
},
