we have custom publisher with init as
@OverRide
public void init(Properties properties) {
this.certificateStoreDirectory = properties.getProperty("ca.certificate.store.directory");
this.filePrefixField = properties.getProperty("ca.certificate.file.prefix.dn.field");
this.rehashEnabled = Boolean.parseBoolean(properties.getProperty("ca.certificate.dir.rehash"));
}

Does editing the build in publishers work?

[bhr83]

Sorry, I couldn't understand your question

[primetomas]

You are editing a custom publisher, something you coded yourself. If you add one of the standard publishers that are part of EJBCA. Does that work? Or is there a problem editing also the built in publishers?

[bhr83]

I don't see any built in publishers.. How to create them? what are publisher types available? since I don't see any CLI command to list available publisher types. which publisher type I can use to create one dummy publisher to test?

[primetomas]

When you add publisher in the Admin UI you can select lots of standard publishers, for example the AWSS3Publisher of the LDAP v2 Publisher. How do you add your publisher?

You can use bin/ejbca.sh ca editpublisher -listFields to get a list of editable fields.
