Hi Valerie I've backported 8012615 to 7u60. Please take a review
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~weijun/8012615/7u-dev/webrev.00/ Changes include: 1. Direct copy of parseCapaths and parseHierarchy from jdk8, except for a) use old Config methods b) parseCapaths returns null instead of throwing an exception 2. CredentialsUtil.java: no more backwards search, just go thru the path 3. Identical test from jdk8 Thanks Max
