This may occur due to several reasons:

  1. The user ID or password is incorrect.
  2. If 'Internet Options -> Security -> Security Level for this zone' is 'High'.

 

To fix the second case, reduce the security level from 'High' to 'Medium-high' or 'Medium'.

Note:
Starting from v7.6.3, the SSL VPN tunnel mode will no longer be supported, and SSL VPN web mode will be called 'Agentless VPN'.
