  This is more of an informational post to be stored for historical purposes because when I searched the internet I didn't see a reference to my issue.

  Intermittently I would get notifications about failed logins with the following messages.

  Reason: An attempt to login using SQL authentication failed. Server is configured for Windows authentication only

  My server IS configured for Mixed mode.

  It turns out if you pass a null value for username when attempting to connect using SQL Authentication you will get this confusing error message. :hehe:

  Maybe you should write a blog about it and provide a more detailed description of what happened. You could use screenshots.
