Symptoms

As a result of this issue, you may encounter one or more of the following symptoms: -- Users cannot log in through the BIG-IP APM system. -- In the /var/log/apm file, the system logs warning messages similar to the following examples: - warning eca[11256]: 01620002:4: [Common] 192.168.0.1:60294 Authentication with configuration (/Common/server1.example.com) result: user01@USER01 (WORKSTATION): Fail (UNEXP_006C0065) - warning nlad[11261]: 01620000:4: <0x2b4d27397700> client[46]: DC[10.10.10.12]: schannel[0]: authentication failed for user 'user01', return code: 0x006c0065 Note: The reported return code may be a value other than 0x006c0065 or 0x00000007. However, the larger the size of the SIDS and Attributes array, the more likely the error value will be 0x00000007.
