User login SSLVPN was unsuccessful, when using NetExtender and got Error Message "E-mail address may be configured wrong".
Cause
OTP (One Time Password) has been enabled on the group the user belongs to, but the user's email address is not configured.
NOTE: If a Local User does not have one-time password enabled, while a group it belongs to does, make sure the user's email address is configured, otherwise this user cannot login.
