Hi,

            I’m running some testing on the IDP with MCB.  I noticed that when I’m directed to the IDP login page and I simply don’t login and just refresh the page, the MCB regards this as an SSO session and tries to query LDAP  using a null user.  This fails of course.  But it also increments the failed login count.    The odd thing is in the logs, it shows that there was actually no previous session found, but the MCB still thinks it is SSO.  Is this the place to be reporting possible MCB bugs?

BTW, here’s what I see in the logs when I refresh the login page.
