In the server/etc/analysis.cfg file I have the following:
HOST=ourserver1 LOG=/var/adm/messages IGNORE="%terminal-device not specifiedby login%"
LOG=/var/adm/messages IGNORE="terminal-device not specifiedby login"
I want to ignore messages containing the string "terminal-device not specifiedby login"
May 31 17:22:53 ourserver1 bpjava-msvc[7112]: [ID 427199 user.error] pam_dial_auth: terminal-device not specifiedby login, returning Error in underlying service module.
Unfortunately it doesn't work.

Two things.
Why do you have a % at the end? Have you tried putting the opening double-quote before the IGNORE?

I've found the quotes to be problematic. Try escaping each space, or truncating the string:
LOG=/var/adm/messages IGNORE=terminal-device\ not\ specifiedby\ login
or
LOG=/var/adm/messages IGNORE=terminal-device.*login
These are a pain....

I've not used escaping of spaces in this way. But I have used quotes that include the IGNORE= part like so:
LOG=/var/adm/messages "IGNORE=terminal-device not specifiedby login"
LOG=/var/adm/messages IGNORE=terminal-device.*login
This won't work because you are using a regular expression match format ".*" but not specifying that it's a regular expression with a leading percent. This might be what you mean:
LOG=/var/adm/messages IGNORE=%terminal-device.*login
Or, you can replace spaces with the regex whitespace, like so:
LOG=/var/adm/messages IGNORE=%terminal-device\snot\sspecifiedby\slogin
IMHO, the neatest is to enclose the whole "IGNORE=matchstring" in quotes.
