Controller client disappears after choosing database, when security is set to 'CAM Authentication' (not "native") caused by "Allow anonymous access" set to "True"

Troubleshooting


Problem

User launches Controller client (ccr.exe). User is prompted with database selection, and chooses relevant database.
Afterwards, however, instead of being prompted to logon (or to choose the period) the users client session disappears.

Symptom

Controller client crashes/ends/disappears during logon process. There is no message recorded inside the Event Viewer.
