-----------------------------------
Summary: Legacy X.509 certificate handling code should be upgraded
Key: NIFI-1753
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1753
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core Framework
Affects Versions: 0.6.1
Reporter: Andy LoPresto
Assignee: Andy LoPresto
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.
