I'm working my way through ArcGIS Server Enterprise Configuration and Tuning for SQL Server. Sdelayer will not connect, giving me a bad login user error (-9). I'm logged in as the administrator account, with SQL Server set up to accept mixed authentication. The giomgr_esri_sde log file lists this:

I understand that authentication is getting rejected, but I do not know where. I even tried forcing the dbinit file to the sde user name and password, but that did not work.
I'm running everything on one machine, which is running Windows 7.
