FYI, re-triggering the job using the corresponding tbpl URL worked fine:

Are you logged in to Treeherder via the login link in the top-right corner of the page?

Nope.

[Ed Morley [:emorley]]

tl;dr: support was added for retrigger/cancels in taskcluster (which _do_ need users to be logged into treeherder) and in the process meant that the buildbot retriggers now show this message too. In the future we want to move buildbot to using the treeherder login too (rather than the separate LDAP HTTP auth) so it's likely not worth trying to fix this case. Bug 1136738 will make the error message more actionable (ie just log in).

This bug wasn't about the phrasing of the error message.
If you intend to remove the feature of logging in using LDAP auth I think it'd be
honest to admit that and resolve it as wontfix.
