---------------------------------------
Summary: New UI makes it impossible to add certificates to
connections with certificate stores
Key: CONNECTORS-1423
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-1423
Project: ManifoldCF
Issue Type: Bug
Components: LiveLink connector, SharePoint connector, Web connector
Affects Versions: ManifoldCF 2.7
Reporter: Karl Wright
Assignee: Kishore Kumar
Priority: Blocker
(1) Create a Sharepoint repository connection
(2) Click on the Server tab
(3) Try to add a certificate by finding a valid cert and clicking the "Add"
button
A 500 error is returned. The exception trace looks like this:
{code}

.java:388)
{code}
It looks like the rendering flow is no longer the same, and therefore the
certificate store is not loaded into the local variable that the
processConfigurationPost() method is expecting to find it in.
The connector code can be rewritten for the connectors where this happens but
frankly this will cause many of the connector UI's out there to break badly.
Is there another way to address this?
