Centralized Discovery Service and URL decoding

Thanks, Rod, I suspect this is the problem. After seeing your note, I looked at wayf.jsp that ships with the DS, and I see what you're talking about. I foolishly dropped our old wayf.jsp in place. I'm going to test using your stock wayf.jsp to see if that fixes the problem and, if so, rebrand from there.

Thanks again, both Rod and Scott.

It is not beyond the realms of possibility that there is a bug in the DS -
but we have been clean of these since
https://issues.shibboleth.net/jira/browse/SDSJ-109 (which was double
encoding and was fixed in 1.2.1

Most of the encoding happens in the jsp layer and so if you have amended
that you might want to look at any customizations, especially (As indicated
in the above) the relationship between the ESAPI encoders and <bean:write>.

I'd suggest that you capture a login and watch the URI being passed around.
In particular check the parameters "return" (on the way to the CDS) and
"returnX" (during the dispatch back to the SP).  That might help point out
where the issue occurs (they should be the same).

The UK Federation runs the CDS but with its own JSP, and I am not aware that
they are having any issues.
