as soon as it completes it's always opens up with

Problem accessing /. Reason:

    AuthenticationSupport service missing. Cannot authenticate request.

thanks again and i was able to find the instructions for filing a ticket.

it looks like my id (set up by the employer) does not have access to https://daycare.day.com/home.html  or is there a different way to get this access and then initiate the filing process.
