Bug in password-string when using GlobalProtect with LDAP?

L0 Member

We had some users, who were not able to use VPN. they alway got XML parse-errors in the GlobalProtect Agent log.

 

We finaly found out, that this users had '<' or '>' in theire passwords. when thy changed theire passwords in some string without these characters, the xml-errors disappeared and thy could login.

we are using GlobalProtect Agent 3.0.0.

 

Another Bug is, that usernames for login are case-sensitiv. LDAP isn't case-sensitiv, so why GlobalProtect is?

Hi,

 

For the use of special caharacters in GP, there was a bug reported which is fixed in 7.0.2 onwards. This seems to be an issue in 7.0.1 only.

For case senstitive usernames, please report this to support team.
