RESOLUTIONTo resolve this issue, make sure that you type the correct user name and password of your Project Server user account when you log on to Project Server. MORE INFORMATIONProject Server has two types of users, Project Server users and Windows authenticated users. Project Server authentication is used for Project Server users. Windows authentication is used for Windows authenticated users. A Project Server user accesses Project Server data by using a user account that is set up in Project Server.
A Windows authenticated user accesses Project Server data by using his or her Windows authenticated user account. You do not have to type your user name and password when you log on to Project Server as a Windows authenticated user. You are automatically logged on to Project Server when you start Project Web Access or when you start Project Professional and connect to the server. Additionally, if you log off Project Web Access 2003, you can log on again if you click Log on using your Microsoft Windows user account on the Logon page.
