The table below lists the subclass values for this event class.
| ID | Subclass | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Login Success | A Login Success event reports that the adjacent broker login process has finished successfully. |
| 2 | Login Protocol Error | A Login Protocol Error event reports that the broker receives a message that is well-formed but not valid for the current state of the of the login process. The message may have been lost or sent out-of-sequence. |
| 3 | Message Format Error | A Message Format Error event reports that the broker received a message that does not match the expected format. The message may have been corrupted, or a program other than SQL Server may be sending messages to the port that Service Broker uses. |
| 4 | Negotiate Failure | A Negotiate Failure event reports that the local broker and the remote broker support mutually exclusive levels of authentication. |
| 5 | Authentication Failure | An Authentication Failure event reports that Service Broker cannot perform authentication for the connection due to an error. For Windows Authentication, this event reports that Service Broker is unable to use Windows Authentication. For certificate-based authentication, this event reports that Service Broker is unable to access the certificate. |
| 6 | Authorization Failure | An Authorization Failure event reports that Service Broker denied authorization for the connection.
