Explanation
The server received an ADAT
command containing authentication data but was unable to decode the
authentication data.
error can be one
of the following values:
- 1
- Bad character in encoding: An invalid character was received
from the server as part of a base 64 encoded string. The valid characters
in a base 64 encoded string are the letters A–Z, the letters
a–z, the numbers 0–9, the plus sign (+), and the forward
slash (⁄).
- 2
- Encoding not properly padded: An invalid base 64 encoded
string was received from the server. The string was not padded with
equal signs to extend the length of the string to a multiple of four
characters.
- 3
- Decoded number of bits not a multiple of 8: An invalid
base 64 encoded string was received from the server. The string was
unable to be decoded because it did not decode into a multiple of
eight bits.
