Handle binascii.Error from base64.b64decode()
In Python 3, the base64.b64decode function raises binascii.Error (a ValueError
subclass) when it finds incorrect padding. In Python 2 it raises TypeError.
Callers should usually handle ValueError; unless they are specifically
concerned with handling base64 padding issues).
In some cases, callers should handle ValueError:
- ipalib.pkcs10 (get_friendlyname, load_certificate_request): callers should
handle ValueError
- ipalib.x509 (load_certificate*, get_*): callers should handle ValueError
In other cases ValueError is handled:
- ipalib.parameters
- ipapython.ssh
- ipalib.rpc (json_decode_binary - callers already expect ValueError)
- ipaserver.install.ldapupdate
Elsewhere no error handling is done, because values come from trusted
sources, or are pre-validated:
- vault plugin
- ipaserver.install.cainstance
- ipaserver.install.certs
- ipaserver.install.ipa_otptoken_import
