Description

When handling the start() and startOk() methods in ConnectionHandler::Handler, the broker fails to check the client/server properties FieldTable for the presence of the federation tag correctly. Rather, it simply gets the tag as a string, and this in turn returns an empty string when it is not present. Not only this, but no check is made for the presence of the federation flag (which is also not present in such cases) prior to setting this string.
