URL-encoding of TARGET Query Parameter Not Being Preserved (75988)

Symptom:

The URL encoding of the TARGET query parameter is not being preserved, which causes the parameter to be double encoded.

Solution:

A new attribute, SupportURLEncodedTarget, has been added to the GlobalInfo element of the SAML Affiliate Agent config file to preserve the encoding. The value of this element is No, by default, or if the parameter is missing. If the parameter is set to Yes, the SAML Affiliate Agent preserves URL-encoding of the Target query parameter.
