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.
