Using the pkiconsole graphical interface from the Red Hat Certificate System (RHCS) version 7.3 to configure e-mail notifications may generate a Java null pointer exception in some cases.

In this scenario, it is interesting to know about the "client" environment, how is the pkiconsole ran?
For example, it is possible to run the pkiconsole remotely using a vncviewer or ssh -X session.
