2459326 - IQ Cockpit always records ID 4625 in Windows security log - SAP IQ

Symptom

When IQ cockpit is used on Windows, event ID 4625 is always recorded in Windows security log.
This is the Audit Failure event.
However, this security log is recorded as a failure even if the user successfully logs on to the IQ server.

There are two problems.

  1. There is no reason for cockpit to record this security log.
  2. This security log is always Audit Failure.

For example, if a user who does not exist in the IQ database fails login via cockipit, the same log is recorded.
Even if login succeeds using dba / sql, Audit Failure is recorded.

And this problem is environment independent.
Windows Server 2012 R2 will be reproduced on both domain members and workstations.
Creating dba user for local users will also reproduce the problem.
