   I just did an upgrade from 7.1.5 to 9.1(2) and had this exact same issue
- TAC traced it to be users that had not changed their PIN for a while.

I ran into this issue once and tracked it down to the time when the user
had last changed/set their pin.  In my situation only about 20% of the
users were affected. The other 80% were fine.

I tracked the issue down by running a user data dump, and all the users
that had reported the problem had the last pin changed time of much older
than everyone else.  In my case, the authentication rules on this system
did not expire the pins, so some users had the same pins for years.

Instead of rolling back, I opted to run a bulk pin reset to the default for
these users and then sent a mass email to all of them telling them that
their PIN had been reset.

If you don't expire your pins this might be your problem.  While I didn't
try this, you could go into the current 7 system and set the password
policy to force users to change their pin on the next login and let
everyone update their pin before you run the upgrade again.

I believe the aggravating factor is that the users in question last changed
their pin on an older version of connection that used a different
encryption type, that is not supported by v9.

I interpreted the issue as being from or to version 7.0 as it also
suggests upgrading to 7.1.3 prior (IIRC) to using COBRAS.

Right now i'm working with the 9.1 VM in a isolated network.

new system has PIN set to expire in 120 days - and this somehow caused the
PIN to not get updated somehow. I can't see any other difference related to
credential policy. Anyone know if this is the case or why PINs might not
have carried over, or if I'm barking up the wrong tree?
