As described in Issue #914, the participant context ID in most URL paths of the IdentityHub's IdentityAPI and the IssuerService's AdminAPI must be base64 encoded. This is due to a historic reason where the partiicpantContextID was expected to be a DID, which contains a colon character (":").
Why remove it?
Other APIs of components, that are also participant-context aware, do not have this, as the participantContextId is not expected to be a DID anymore, instead, it should be a randomly generated string such as a UUID.
This will be a breaking change!
