	 * The property keys of a Service Reference are case insensitive while the
	 * property keys of the specified {@code properties} map are case sensitive.

	 *         Service Admin does not recognize any of the configuration types,
	 *         or if they Remote Service Admin cannot support the relevant
	 *         intents.
	 * @throws IllegalArgumentException If any of the properties for this
	 *         configuration type has a value that is not syntactically correct,
	 *         or if the service properties and the overlaid properties do not
	 *         contain a {@link RemoteConstants#SERVICE_EXPORTED_INTERFACES}
