****************************************************************
1. The missing binding name in the Trust service attachment
panel was due to the panel's controller logic not running to
repopulate the page and retrieve the new binding name.
2. The code that displays the Actor role link for
application specific bindings was not taking into account that
the Trust service bindings should be considered a provider
side general binding.
3. The getBinding administration task to retrieve the general
bindings configuration information was missing the
"bindingScope=global" parameter.
4. The getPolicySetAttachments administration runtime task was
not returning the "bindingScope" property to indicate that a
binding was a general binding. As such it was treated as a
Trust service specific binding and not located in the correct
configuration directory, generating the error message.

Problem conclusion

The binding configuration code that runs when the trust service
attachment panel is displayed was updated to use the new
administration task parameter "bindingScope" to manage
configuration data for general bindings. The controller code
for the panel was updated to retrieve new configuration data
each time the panel is displayed.
