Re: [Ejbca-develop] StackoverflowException on certificate enrollment after upgrade from 6.2.0 to 6.10.0

[John R <joh...@gm...>]

I made a small mistake. The second error in the log doesn't happen when the
value of willPublishCertificate is hardcoded to false. When it's hardcoded
to false the enrollment passes. When it's hardcoded to true the error
occurs.
