Subject: [PATCH] Fix a set of problems with the configuration interface in which there were a number of cases in which insufficient validation was performed.  In particular, if a new configuration object was added over protocol or an existing configuration object was changed from disabled to enabled, then the server would only perform generic validation for that component and would not have any way to perform more detailed validation that could detect larger numbers of problems.
