I haven't followed this whole thread, so not sure if this was mentioned. We
had a problem in the past where if you had more than one AR server defined
in the mid-tier, then anytime you try to login it attempts to log into each
AR server defined. So if you have three AR servers defined, and your
Windows system is set to lock after three bad attempts, then just one
incorrect password when trying to log in will lock you out.

Regards,
Keith
