[jira] [Updated] (NIFI-1753) Legacy X.509 certificate handling code
should be upgraded
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1753?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Andy LoPresto updated NIFI-1753:
--------------------------------
Description:
There are multiple instances throughout the codebase [1][2] where legacy {{javax.security.cert.X509Certificate}} class is used rather than the current (Java SE 6) {{java.security.cert.X509Certificate}}. The {{javax.*}} classes are provided for legacy compatibility with JSSE [3][4]. This can manifest as an exception:
{{java.lang.ClassCastException: [Ljava.security.cert.X509Certificate; cannot be cast to [Ljavax.security.cert.X509Certificate}}
The {{CertificateFactory}} class allows conversion to the new format.
