Symptoms—When end users attempt to access the Forefront UAG portal, they may receive the following message "An authentication error occurred when signing in." There may also be an event 151 in the event viewer or in the Web Monitor with the description "WS-FAM: User with lead user claim value [user_name] could not be signed in. Session ID: [session_ID], Trunk name: [trunk_name]."

Cause—An unknown error occurred when the user attempted to sign in.

Solution—The user should attempt to sign in to the Forefront UAG portal again.
