A value was getting updated as null in the t_av_afx_connector_type table for some columns, and this was causing NullPointerException. A check was missing while doing the database operation and importing the Connectors from the zip file.

This issue is resolved in the following versions:

• RSA Governance & Lifecycle 8.0.0 P07

Please take a full database backup before running any commands or scripts. As a precautionary measure, test all workarounds on a lower environment, whether or not also affected by the issue, to ensure they will have no negative impact on your operations. A recommendation from RSA is to run all scripts/ queries during scheduled downtime, or at a time when load is not high.

1. Execute the below query:

   update t_av_afx_connector_type set GROUP_TYPE = 'LDAP' where GROUP_TYPE is null;

2. Reimport the AFX-8.0.0_P05-Standard-Connectors.zip.

This issue presents itself after patching to both patches 5 & 6 of version 8.0.0.
