In AS7 Plugin, the SSL section should only be enabled for editing when the property 'secure' is set to true. (See Bug 813750 ) It should be possible to model that in configuration metadata
In the code for Bug 813750 this now look like <c:simple-property name="secure" required="false" type="boolean" readOnly="false" defaultValue="false" description="Indicates if content sent or received by the connector is secured from the user perspective. The default value is false."/> <c:group name="child:ssl=configuration:enabled=secure=true" displayName="SSL Configuration"> <c:map-property name="*Configuration+" displayName="Configuration" readOnly="false" required="false"> <c:simple-property name="ca-certificate-file" required="false" type="string" readOnly="false" description="Certificate authority."/> See also http://rhq-project.org/display/RHQ/Notes#Notes-Identifyingasinglechildresource
