WAS = WebSphere Application Server, the mechanism that exposes the common services used by products in the Information Server suite, including the login/security service and the directory service which are used during the login/authentication process. If WAS had been shut down temporarily, perhaps for maintenance, then all users would see the symptom you described during that shutdown period.
