Customer created a support ticket on 2024-09-19 21:51:36:

Output format of "/usr/local/bin/ibmcloud resource service-key xxxxxx" was changed recently.
This is very big impact against our product.

$ /usr/local/bin/ibmcloud resource service-key XXXXXXXX
cos_hmac_keys:
(space) access_key_id: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(space) secret_access_key: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The number of spaces was increased.　　　Please restore it.

Our script can not get credential . I am not asking to check our script.
This script is installed into over customer's 200 devices.

This changed in the last few days clearly.
Tried to create new bucket and credentials . same result.
The problem is "output format was changed" The existing credentials are not lost.

ACS escalated this to COS and here was their response:

I don’t see any issues with the COS CLI plugin. It seems like a CORE CLI issue where extra spaces are being added.
The COS CLI plugin always starts with 'ibmcloud cos'.
Could you please re-assign the ticket?
Escalate the problem to the CORE team via internal ticketing (GHE) ? Also, it appears that this issue could have stemmed under a specific scenario where customer could be extracting (cut ) certain number of characters. It may be feasible asking the customer on how they fetching the details of the access key and suggest a workaround (like awk 3rd column or so).
