Root Cause:
This issue occurs when end users bookmark old SDP urls with parameters in the URL that are now unsupported (and considered extra parameter)


Solution:
Check if the customers are using a bookmark or a button from another portal/website where SDP's URL is predefined with the extra params. Ask them to remove the extra parameters from the bookmark or if it's an external website, ask the admin to remove the extra parameter from the SDP URL.
