You should probably not set idp.authn.flows.initial.

They can't be, we don't know that every possible property ever supported 
would be safe to trim (we don't even control what they are, people can add 
anything they want).

The feedback from the first installation workshop was that spaces are 
tripping people up, so we have to add trimming to the places the 
properties are actually used where it's appropriate.

And I think do better logging of situations where a configured value isn't 
matching something, that should be a strong error.
