I receive an id_token as part of my current href. It is encoded in base64. I try to decode it using atob(extractedIdToken), but get the following error:
Failed to execute 'atob' on 'Window': The string to be decoded is not correctly encoded
When I copy and paste the extracted id_token in my code and go to an online decoding site, it decodes correctly. Do you have suggestion?
I always use this to decode and encode in Base64, try it
var Base64 = {
_keyStr: "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/=",
encode: function (e) {
var t = "";
var n, r, i, s, o, u, a;
var f = 0;
e = Base64._utf8_encode(e);
while (f < e.length) {
n = e.charCodeAt(f++);
r = e.charCodeAt(f++);
i = e.charCodeAt(f++);
s = n >> 2;
o = (n & 3) << 4 | r >> 4;
u = (r & 15) << 2 | i >> 6;
a = i & 63;
if (isNaN(r)) {
u = a = 64
} else if (isNaN(i)) {
a = 64
}
t = t + this._keyStr.charAt(s) + this._keyStr.charAt(o) + this._keyStr.charAt(u) + this._keyStr.charAt(a)
}
return t
},
decode: function (e) {
var t = "";
var n, r, i;
var s, o, u, a;
var f = 0;
e = e.replace(/[^A-Za-z0-9+/=]/g, "");
while (f < e.length) {
s = this._keyStr.indexOf(e.charAt(f++));
o = this._keyStr.indexOf(e.charAt(f++));
u = this._keyStr.indexOf(e.charAt(f++));
a = this._keyStr.indexOf(e.charAt(f++));
n = s << 2 | o >> 4;
r = (o & 15) << 4 | u >> 2;
i = (u & 3) << 6 | a;
t = t + String.fromCharCode(n);
if (u != 64) {
t = t + String.fromCharCode(r)
}
if (a != 64) {
t = t + String.fromCharCode(i)
}
}
t = Base64._utf8_decode(t);
return t
},
_utf8_encode: function (e) {
e = e.replace(/rn/g, "n");
var t = "";
for (var n = 0; n < e.length; n++) {
var r = e.charCodeAt(n);
if (r < 128) {
t += String.fromCharCode(r)
} else if (r > 127 && r < 2048) {
t += String.fromCharCode(r >> 6 | 192);
t += String.fromCharCode(r & 63 | 128)
} else {
t += String.fromCharCode(r >> 12 | 224);
t += String.fromCharCode(r >> 6 & 63 | 128);
t += String.fromCharCode(r & 63 | 128)
}
}
return t
},
_utf8_decode: function (e) {
var t = "";
var n = 0;
var r = c1 = c2 = 0;
while (n < e.length) {
r = e.charCodeAt(n);
if (r < 128) {
t += String.fromCharCode(r);
n++
} else if (r > 191 && r < 224) {
c2 = e.charCodeAt(n + 1);
t += String.fromCharCode((r & 31) << 6 | c2 & 63);
n += 2
} else {
c2 = e.charCodeAt(n + 1);
c3 = e.charCodeAt(n + 2);
t += String.fromCharCode((r & 15) << 12 | (c2 & 63) << 6 | c3 & 63);

return t

Thanks all for your answers. I ended up moving the Base64 decoding process to the Java backend using the java package: java.util.Base64.
In my case, the issue was that the encoded string should have been treated as segments. Just separate the code with the separator "." or whatever your case is. Then, decode only the different parts separately. This resolved my issue and I was able to decode using window.atob(). Hope this helps.
