The following is an excerpt from the SAFmodule 3.1 and 3.1 SP1 Readme.txt file (under Known Issues):
---------------------------------------------
After failing a biometric or smart card log on to workstations running the Netware 4.9, 4.9 SP1 or 4.9 SP1a clients on Windows NT/2000/XP, an error dialog, warning "Netware Security Message - Server is out of resources" appears after any "login failed" messages. This message is incorrect and can be ignored. The server is not out of resources and the log on can be retried with the correct biometric or a valid smart card.
This error dialog is a known Novell issue with these versions of the client and is displayed in response to receiving an indication of the failed logon from the NMAS framework. Previous to version 4.9 failed logons resulted in a single Netware "Login failed" message with a numeric return code. In 4.9 and 4.9 SP1 a failed log on results in both that dialog, and the "server out of resources" message. In 4.9 SP1a, only the "server out of resources" message is displayed. Other NMAS methods may display a different message, indicating an "Internal error 0xFFFFF996 occurred", this is also incorrect and can be ignored.
