 * I’ve noticed the plugin sometimes fails to authenticate the user.
 * I tried going into admin and the plugin settings. I tried the test tool and the
   login failed. I then clicked the server tab, clicked back to the test tool and
   ran it again, this time with a successful authentication.
 * My settings are obviously correct as they haven’t changed between the two tests.
   Its also not a typo on the test tool user details, as the details I entered on
   the failed attempt as retained on the successful attempt – they haven’t been 
   re-entered.
 * Does anyone else have this problem or know what is causing it?

 * No solutions, but I’m also having this problem without explanation. Sometimes
   it logs the failure to the database, mostly it does not. No rhyme or reason that
   I can see.

 * Same issue for me.
    I usually fails on the first attempt only to work on the 
   second attempt.
 * Does anyone know if any of the alternative work reliably?
