I had a similar problem with an intranet system with IWP using Filemaker Server 9.
This error caused IWP to take up all the server operating memory and
the intranet failed to function.

I finally traced the problem to a portal on one layout that was attempting to sort records based on a portal field that was drawn from the wrong relationship
(same root table but a different relationship to it).

It is possible that this incorrectly set sort field was not available under
the permissions set for guest users accessing the intranet via iwp,
though my recollection is a little foggy and I am not positive that was the case.

I do know that after I discovered the incorrect sort setting, and corrected it, we no longer got the authentication failed messages and the failures of
our intranet system stopped.

HTH,

Sue

Anyone know what causes this? How to stop this from happening?

A client's FileMaker 9 Server keeps sending out these messages:

FileMaker Server 9.0.3.326 on HDNAME reported the following event:

2009-01-29 16:30:34.717 -0800 Warning 661 HDNAME Client "xxxx" authentication failed on database "DBNAME.fp7" using "fmclientpreferencesusername [fmapp]".


Client is using FileMaker client Pro 9.0v3

The messages are being triggered by them by logging in, however, they are successfully logging in so I am not exactly sure why we these emails are being sent out.

Thanks in advance.
