This works in that the UI no longer crashes but the certificate is show 
thusly in the UI:

Certificate	[object Object]

I know we talked about moving to storing certs as PEM which should fix 
this problem at some point but is this an acceptable interim solution? 
Or do we want to just leave base64-encoded objects encoded?
