    IAS use authentication failure (Reason code=16)

    I have just implemented an IAS server on a Windows 2k3 SP1 member server to authenticate VPN clients which connect to our firewall (NetScreen ns-25). Everything is OK except for the users whose password length is more than 15 characters. Following you can view the IAS log for such users

    Event Type: Warning
    Event Source: IAS
    Event Category: None
    Event ID: 2
    Date: 17/12/05
    Time: 1:42:21 PM
    User: N/A
    Computer: server
    Description:
    User test was denied access.
    Fully-Qualified-User-Name = ss\test
    NAS-IP-Address = 132.186.6.148
    NAS-Identifier = <not present>
    Called-Station-Identifier = <not present>
    Calling-Station-Identifier = <not present>
    Client-Friendly-Name = VPN-Remote
    Client-IP-Address = 132.186.6.148
    NAS-Port-Type = Virtual
    NAS-Port = 155
    Proxy-Policy-Name = Use Windows authentication for all users
    Authentication-Provider = Windows
    Authentication-Server = <undetermined>
    Policy-Name = <undetermined>
    Authentication-Type = PAP
    EAP-Type = <undetermined>
    Reason-Code = 16
    Reason = Authentication was not successful because an unknown user name or
    incorrect password was used.
