Version Affected: All
Description:
Upon logging into a realm, specific users land upon a server error:
Error log:
Message="Error Message: The input is not a valid Base-64 string as it contains a non-base 64 character, more than two padding characters, or an illegal character among the padding characters.
Cause:
Considering specific users may land upon this error, they may have certain characters in their attributes that fall out of the scope of what is considered to be Base64.
• Base64 characters should exist within the following:
A-Z, a-z, and 0-9
• If there are more than two padded characters, you would see a value in a user's attribute, such as:
mjohnson***
Note that spaces do count as padded characters.
• Illegal characters may exist in a user's name, such as:
Asbjørn
Resolution:
Check the user's attributes to see if there are any padded and/or foreign characters. More often than not, the issue will be tied to a foreign character in a user's name attribute.
