Darran Lofthouse updated AS7-4014:
----------------------------------

        Summary: Somehow a new line character is regularly being appended to base64 encoded passwords - trim whitespace from decoded value.  (was: Somehow a new line character is regularly being appended to base64 encoded passwords - log a WARN if a new line is detected.)
    Description: 
Somehow a new line character is regularly being appended to base64 encoded passwords - trim whitespace from decoded value.

A recent example is 'slavepassword' was encoded as 'c2xhdmVwYXNzd29yZAo=' when actually it should be 'c2xhdmVwYXNzd29yZA=='

(A WARN should also be logged if something has been trimmed)

Probably just easier to trim it - but do log a WARN so end user knows it was trimmed.
