When configuring Active Administrator Change Notifications, you receive the error: Unable to validate the configuration settings -
Descripción
When entering the information in the configuration window for Active Administrator Change Notifications, you receive the following error:
Unable to validate the configuration settings. See details for more information.Please check the client ID and the security key. 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.at System.Convert.FromBase64_Decode(Char* startInputPtr, Int32 inputLength, Byte* startDestPtr, Int32 destLength)at System.Convert.FromBase64CharPtr(Char* inputPtr, Int32 inputLength)at System.Convert.FromBase64String(String s)at Quest.AA.AFS.ASM.AzureAD.AzureADHelpers.GetChangeNotificationAccessToken(AzureADDomain domain)at Quest.AA.AFS.ASM.AzureAD.AzureChangeNotificationWatcher.TestAzureADChangeNotificationSettings(AzureADDomain domain)
Entering new information, re-creating the App resource, security and client secret does not change anything, and you continue to receive the above message. -
Causa
This is caused by a change to Microsoft Azure portal, specifically a change to the format type of the new "Client Secrets".
These now have special characters in them, which is causing issues during decryption.
If you get a Client Secret without special characters, this is likely to work. -
Resolución
WORKAROUND
From May 7th, 2019, until October 2019, you can continue to use the "Legacy" mode in Azure.This will allow you to either reconfigure the App Resource from scratch, or generate an old-style Base64 Key, which can be used in Active Administrator.Once you have created this key, you can use the current mode for Administration, however, you cannot retrieve this key.If you need to retrieve the key, you will need to go back into legacy mode.Keys have an expiry or either 1 or 2 years, and will continue working even after legacy mode is discontinued.Go to the highlighted section below to get to the legacy mode, which will ask for a reason, and that can be left blank:
STATUS
Waiting for fix in a future release of Active Administrator.
