Troubleshooting:

Checked on Google and it refers to the issue with anonymous access on the site http://vettekerry.wordpress.com/2008/06/03/login-required-on-anonymous-site.

MSDN community refers to the issue with “NT AUTHORITY\autenticated user" access on the site http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/pl/sharepointinfopath/thread/e0312df4-b950-4e42-ba49-a648055c8934.

In our environment we are neither using anonymous access on the site nor client have added “NT AUTHORITY\autenticated user" on the site.

Resolution:

The above article was referring to the permissions related issue. Hence tried to find the if the user is added on the site from “All People” group and no reference was found. Since there were 100 users it was very difficult to check them one by one. Asked the site admin if he has any reference list of users and he also confirmed that these users are yet to be permissioned on the site. Confirmed with the client they all treid to access the site before they were permissioned on the site resulting in SCOM Alert trigger for the InfoPath.

As alert was so huge in nature only a small portion of it was a cause of the issue i.e. user identified was not permissioned on the site. 

If you have any questions do let me know.
