Hi,

Your device uptime isn't by any chance +388 days of uptime ?

There was an issue on older PAN-OS versions where username mapping were lost on the DP after approximately 388 of uptime. This was solved in newer OS versions (5.0.14 and 6.0.4 as per release notes).

Eitherway even if you are hitting a different issue I would recommend upgrading to a more recent OS version seeing that your current one is 2 years old.

Hope this helps,

-Kim.

Hi soporteseguridad,

In that case I would definitely upgrade to a more recent OS version.

It would rule out hitting this issue.
