Again Modified Username in GP Client after Update

Hi Folks,

A year or so ago we tried to upgrade our Global Protect 5.0.3 to the recent prefered version with the result that many of our users get the chineese / asian letters in username BUG after the Upgrade.

Now we tried again with 5.1.6 and instead of Chineese Letters we get four QuestionsMarks for the Username after the Update.

I realy get annoyed about this update behavior. We seen it on a Windows 10 Education build 2004 and an Windows 10 Enterprise build 1809.

Here the Log Part from PANGPS after the Upgrade

(T4484)Debug(8355): 10/08/20 21:06:07:999 ----Portal Login starts---- (T4484)Debug( 312): 10/08/20 21:06:07:999 No need to decrypt data with length 0 (T4484)Debug( 567): 10/08/20 21:06:07:999 pan_read_text_from_file(): File does not exist.

Did someone else here got hit by this bug ?

@florian.hahner

Never face this issue.

We were running 5.2.2 and recently upgraded to 5.2.3 so far no issues like this.

Maybe you only face it when you upgrade from 5.0.x trail.

a short update on this case

This behavior will not happen if we update from 5.0.3 to 5.0.10. It has something to do with the change on the 5.1.x trail.
