Symptoms

Access Policy with multiple logon pages logs a blank username.

Impact

Exporting reports in CSV format from Access Policy > Reports > View Reports might contain break (<br/>) tags, and the logs report Username ' ' (that is, a blank username).

Conditions

Configure an access policy using visual policy editor with multiple logon pages. On the second logon page, specify Username as Readonly.

Workaround

None

Fix Information

When the Logon Page configuration specifies that the username field is Read Only, APM no longer logs the username, which is always empty in this case. When the Logon Page configuration requires the user to enter a username, APM continues to log the username.
