I am now looking at an Ignition issue that looks weird. Attached is what I see in the log. The gateway Logs page shows that every 2 second it is trying to authenticate DefaultLogin on the domain controller. The Logs page is extremely slow; I can’t even set it to turn off Live Updates because it is unresponsive. The other gateway pages are not slow like this. I am concerned the gateway is needlessly trying to authenticate every 2 seconds and impacting performance. Do you expect the gateway to do this, or is this unusual behavior? If this is not normal, how do I stop it? ![ibwc_ng_ig_logs%20-%201](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/4/4e74cbd57f1b3b76266746218b4dd0d46ebfc965.jpeg) ---

It was a client script doing it. Disabling the script did the trick
