Failed PW retries

Greetings,

When the ODBC driver gets back a failed login it seems to retry the
same username/password 4 times, then tries with user 'admin', then
tries again with the original username before prompting the user to
enter a new password.

Is there any way to change this behaviour? Our PG system is set up to
lock-out accounts after 3 failed login tries and so this is kind of a
problem.

We're using pam in pg_hba.conf and pam_radius_auth in the
pam.d/postgres config, though I don't think those matter as we see
multiple attempts in the Postgres log itself (and don't see these
duplicated attempts when connecting with psql or similar).

Thanks,

Stephen

FYI, we were able to stop the "Admin" login by setting TryJetAuth=0 in
the registry. But are still baffled why access is getting an auth
failed 4 times before even trying to prompt the user for a password.

Anyone else ever experience a similar issue with one-time passwords?

Thanks,

Brian
