Error description

• Error Description: If a client node has been registered on the
  Spectrum Protect server using the option 'userid=none', and then
  a sign-on attempt is made from that node using an incorrect
  password, multiple sign-on sessions will be opened to the
  server. Three sessions will be opened if the sign-on is made
  from the backup-archive GUI and two sessions if the command line
   is used.
  
  Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected: 7.1
  
  Customer/L2 Diagnostics (If Applicable) Check the activity log
  for messages showing the multiple sign-on sessions with invalid
  password, for example
  
  
     ANR0424W Session 55 for node <node> (WinNT) refused -
       invalid password submitted. (SESSION: 55)
  
   ANR0424W Session 56 for node <node> (WinNT) refused -
          invalid password submitted. (SESSION: 56)
  
         ANR0424W Session 57 for node <node> (WinNT) refused -
           invalid password submitted. (SESSION: 57)

Problem conclusion

  password is provided for a  node with no administrative user ID
  specified is handled properly and Java GUI client provides a
  user with the possibility to re-enter the correct password as
  expected.
