[PATCH v3 07/10] KEYS: X.509: Flag Intermediate CA certs as endorsed

Wed Dec 14 00:33:58 UTC 2022


Currently X.509 intermediate certs with the CA flag set to false do not
have the endorsed CA (KEY_FLAG_ECA) set. Allow these intermediate certs to
be added.  Requirements for an intermediate include: Usage extension
defined as keyCertSign, Basic Constrains for CA is false, and the
intermediate cert is signed by a current endorsed CA.
