% is changing to %25 because the common space character is encoded as %20 as you noted yourself. The % character is encoded as %25. So it seems there is URL encoding happening (check your code) which is again encoding % in %20 as %25.

Hi ,

As another workaround you can add the following custom action link to use closeConnection.aspx?loginasanotheruser=true for your web application, this custom link could be used to login as another user, but it will redirect user to site home page, you can try.

Thanks

It sounds like your URL is being double-encoded. Have you deployed any post-SP1 update to SharePoint 2013 (April 2014 CU or MS14-022 or higher)? September 2014 CU clears the double encoding issue.

Hi, using the following url: ttp://server/_layouts/closeconnection.aspx?loginasanotheruser=true
