We would receive below error while executing “InlineEditWebService.asmx” Request after setting CRMWRPCToken and CRMWRPCTokenTimeStamp values as per Part-7 and Part-8].

Issue:

The input is not a valid Base-64 string as it contains a non-base 64 character, more than two padding characters, or an illegal character among the padding characters

Reason:

Extracted CRMWRPCToken [From Part-7] would have extra chars like “\”. This doesn’t accept by CRM because it corrupt the Base=64 format. so need to replace these values.
