Is that the entire stack?

I see:

```auto
Caused by: com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.servlets.gateway.functions.GatewayFunctionException: Error authenticating.
at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.servlets.gateway.functions.Login.client(Login.java:470)

```

But there should be another “Caused by” at the bottom…

Can you check your Gateway logs for an identical `Error attempting client login.` warning message logged to logger `Gateway.Login`? And post the entire stack here…
