Handle.net PIDs - exception creating new dataset in Dataverse 6.5-6.6 after update from 6.4 #11592
Description
Dear Dataverse team,
There is a problem creating a new dataset using Handles (Handle.net PID) since update to versions 6.5 and 6.6 - there is an exception about "UnmanagedHandleProvider" and dataset is not created, showing also an error page in GUI "Page Not Found - The page you are looking for was not found.":
[edu.harvard.iq.dataverse.DatasetPage] [tid: _ThreadID=102 _ThreadName=http-thread-pool::jk-connector(1)] [timeMillis: 1749748666538] [levelValue: 1000] [[
CommandException, when attempting to update the dataset: PID Provider UnmanagedHandleProvider is not configured.
edu.harvard.iq.dataverse.engine.command.exception.IllegalCommandException: PID Provider UnmanagedHandleProvider is not configured.

I see in the history, that some changes for PIDs were done for 6.5 (before Dec 2024), but the most of them were done for other PID providers, not for Handles: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/commits/develop/src/main/java/edu/harvard/iq/dataverse/pidproviders?after=0177e5d9d4965dd97bfc361d8dace7872be49d78+34
Maybe some needed changes for Handles were skipped, because in version 6.4 the same Handle-config works as expected well.
