Spaces have never impacted concatenated SQL queries before I'm not sure why you think that's the issue. I don't know what the new authentication provider is or how it works (it's not implemented yet) but if I had to guess I'd say it probably has something to do with Base64 strings and URL encoding not playing nice with each other. In URL encoding a blank space is %20 And a plus symbol is %2B however when DECODING, a blank space does not decode and a + decodes to a blank space (+ is shorthand for %20).
