Create Authorities in Lemur failing with NoneType object has no attribute strip

[ghost]

I am new to Lemur. I setup the environment following the documentation. I am able to login to the environment. Import Certificate. However, when I tried to add Authorities, I get an error message NoneType object has no attribute strip.

Any pointers would be helpful.

This is the code path used for creating a new authority: https://github.com/Netflix/lemur/blob/master/lemur/authorities/service.py#L100-L129

my suspicion is that you don't have defined

LEMUR_DEFAULT_AUTHORITY = `?`

When creating the Authority you can go to more options and define the plugin you want to use.
