Karthick Vankayala (ID: 00000077a049c791) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/15/2021 Now I don't have to copy the Encoded values and Decode them at different sites. The most annoying part is sometimes the SAML Request and Response are not just base64 encoded but they are deflated/gzip encoded, URL encoded on top of other encoding standards. All this stuff is smoothly handled without any hassle
