Audit Logins

We are having an issue with an application connecting to
our database. In order to capture the login failures, I
went into Enterprise Manager properties and went to the
security tab. I then selected that audit level = all,
which to me means it audits all logins. However, when I
connect either correctly or with erros, there is nothing
written to the SQL Server Logs.
I tried to find more info in BOL's but couldn't. Where is
the audit info logged?
I now have a trace set up via profiler, but would still
like to understand why the 'audit level' via enterprise
manager didn't work. (I even ran a reconfig)
Thanks
SusanYou have to stop/restart the sql server service for this to take effect, and
the login failures will be in the SQL Server log.
