SQL Server Authentication Mode

We are receiving a message "Login failed for user ''.  Reason: An attempt to logon using SQL authentication failed.  Server is configured for Windows authentication only. [Client: <local machine.]  

But when I look at the SQL Server security properties the radio button is on SQL server and Windows authentication mode.  Also, I can interactively logon to SQL using SQL authentication.  

I think the message is being generated by SAP Business One because I get an application hang message with a similar time stamp.  

Any thoughts?

You must change it to Mixed Authentication and this requires a SQL Service restart:
