NACK

The certificate isn't verified in host-add.

I suspect that certificates signed by an intermediate CA (i.e. when the 
certificate chain length > 2) are considered invalid. Is that the 
desired behavior?

make-testcert fails with:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "./make-testcert", line 126, in <module>
     sys.exit(makecert(reqdir))
   File "./make-testcert", line 105, in makecert
     add=True)
   File "./make-testcert", line 66, in run
     result = self.execute(method, *args, **options)
   File "/home/jcholast/freeipa/ipalib/backend.py", line 142, in execute
     raise error #pylint: disable=E0702
ipalib.errors.CommandError: unknown command 'cert_request'

This is probably an error on my part (tried running in on both my 
machine without IPA installed and on VM with IPA installed with no 
luck), but nonetheless it should be fixed to fail gracefully so that the 
tests in "make test" have a chance to run. Similarly, the tests which 
use the test certificate created by make-testcert should be skipped if 
the certificate isn't available.
