Sprint Themes and related tickets for Sprint 126:

Community Implementation support
- Worked with the VA team on their 4.2.1 deployment in their development environment
  - Supported several meetings including an in-person meeting and email exchanges
  - Conducted research on a deployment issue with WebLogic 12c and Windows. The team was able to successfully install on WebLogic 12c (12.1.1) but found an issue with deployment of Connect 4.2.1 on Weblogic 12c (12.1.2) that would need further research(CONN-877)
- Researched and tested a persistent eHealth Exchange certificate issue affecting multiple organizations
  - Conducted industry and exchange related research to isolate the issue
  - Tested with the VA, Conemaugh and MiHIN
  - Discussed and presented findings to Healtheway/Spec Factory
  - Documented additional detail about PKI to help the community understand certificate setup and provided troubleshooting guidance.(CONN-884)
- - - The certificate issue was discovered in the staging environment as a result of some adopters having connectivity issues with their trading partners on the Exchange. Analysis and research conducted by the CONNECT team led to the conclusion that there were two certificates with different roots in use on the Exchange on the staging environments causing trust issues between the partners.
    - HealtheWay was able to clarify that the Root CA downloaded from Entrust (SKI: DED9) is being phased out and replaced with the other one (SKI: FF25); members of the eHealth Exchange will eventually have to replace any certificates that were signed before the new Root CA was introduced.
    - This issue was documented as a case study that can be used for reference - /wiki/spaces/CONNECTWIKI/pages/11174264
    - Troubleshooting information can be found here - eHealth Exchange Certificate chain overview and troubleshooting (CONN-885, CONN-886)
- Support and testing efforts continued with NIST, discussed several topics and compared interpretations of specifications
  - Completed testing NIST test cases for SOAP transport/Document Submission (CONN-882)
