I can't create a new authority(AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'strip')

[OldBigBuddha]

Hi all, thank you for creating such a great product.

I'm having trouble now because I can't create a certification authority. When I try to create a new authority, I got a message from lumer. It's Was not created! 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'strip' like a screenshot.

I checked my lumer.log file. This message is the relevant information maybe:

}

And beauty exc_info is here:

Does anyone have a good solution for this? (I am not good at English. If you can't understand my english, please ask me feel free.)

Thanks for reading this far!
