I'm attaching a new patch that's identical to the previous one with 
ticket URL updated. I'm thinking we should check this patch in first 
because it's already done, and then investigate the use of CA cert 
management utility as a separate enhancement since the it seems to need 
to be generalized before it can be used to manage KRA transport cert. 
I'll also need to investigate the KRA transport cert replacement process 
to make sure it can be accommodated via IPA's cert management utility.

Subject: [PATCH] Added command to retrieve vault transport certificate.

A new command has been added to retrieve the vault transport
certificate and optionally save it into a file. The vault archive
and retrieve command has been modified to retrieve the transport
certificate and store it locally for subsequent usage. This way
it's no longer necessary to manually import the transport
certificate into the client's NSS database.
