Probably this is not related to the issue mentioned in the original bug.

It times out after a long time with the following error "HTTPUnauthorized: ERROR: Authentication failed. Please try again with option --include-password or export HEAT_INCLUDE_PASSWORD=1".

Interesting thing is it works without any issues with 'create-stack' and fails with 'update-stack'.  I tried with both signal_transport HEAT_SIGNAL and CFN_SIGNAL

I'll investigate further.
