Java8 Base64 encoded response - method change from Java7

  • 1.  Java8 Base64 encoded response - method change from Java7

    hey All-  
    we have upgraded our Access Gateways from prior versions using Java7 to 12.8sp1 with Java8. We noticed that the base64 encoded response was formatted differently than in past versions, i.e. line length & line separator in prior version - now with Java8 & Access Gateway 12.8 there are none.  

    This adversely impacted 1 partner we have multiple SAML trusts with who also examine formatting as an additional step; where parsing the encoded response it fails because of NOT having the 76 characters & line separators included in the response.

    my question is: has anyone had this issue?  I would like to know if some customers have changed the encoder for the MIME variant.

    hope I explained this correctly, please let me know if there are any questions on the ask.

    appreciate the help!
