@rhtyd The DB update class for the DatabaseUpgradeChecker doesn't work on
Travis. Is there something I'm doing wrong, or missed something?

> The user data is validated through the Apache commons codec library, but this
> library does not check that the length is a multiple of 4 characters. The RFC
> does not require it either. But the python script in the virtual router that
> loads the user data does check for the possible padding presence, requiring
> the string to be a multiple of 4 characters.
> {code:python}
> >>> import base64
> >>> base64.b64decode('foo')
> Traceback (most recent call last):
> File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
> File
> "/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.12/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/base64.py",

> Currently since the java check is less restrictive, the user data gets saved
> into the database but the VR script crashes when it receives this VM user
> data. On a single VM it is not really a problem. The critical issue is when a
> VR is restarted. The invalid pythonic base64 string makes the vmdata.py
> script crashed, resulting in a VR not starting at all.
