Unable to select AES cipher using vpncmd (ServerCipherSet)

I am using SoftEther VPN 4.27 Build 9668 Beta and I have changed the encryption algorithm to (although by default it is selected)

AES128-SHA

Even in server logs a change is depicted. "A new encryption algorithm name for the server has been set. The new encryption algorithm name is AES128-SHA"
When i login the softether vpn utility using vpncmd then then server logs show "A new encryption algorithm is AES128-SHA" however when softether vpn client connects to softether vpn server then the encryption algorithm is null "SSL communication for connection CID-16 has been started. The encryption algorithm name is (null)".
Even the properties of my windows native client shows that i am using ISEC AES 256.
Please guide

What version of SoftEther VPN Client do you use?

Just use ServerCipherGet and you will see a list of all valid encryption algorithms.
Then use ServerCipherSet to set one of those algorithms.
Make sure you use the Hub command to select your hub before applying the new encryption algorithm.
