A low-level API to create X.509 certificates and CRLs has been added to JSS This enhancements adds a low-level API, which can be used to create X.509 certificate and certificate revocation lists (CRL) to the Java Security Services (JSS).
Description of problem: We have a need by an internal customer that would like to be able to create x509 certificates and crl's using our JSS java binding for NSS crypto functionality. This will be done by simply moving a collection of RHCS code down in the JSS code base. This code is an extensive collection of x509 cert and crl routines that are currently in use by RHCS to actually create the certificates managed by the RHCS certificate authority. The JSS part of this work will be to simply copy this collection of code down into JSS, such that other users can make use of this code to create their own certs and crls. The benefit of this ability is the fact that the user can take advantage of NSS's FIPS certified status.
Checkin: Address Bugzilla: Bug 1560682 - (RFE) Migrate RHCS x509 cert and crl … …functionality to JSS. This consists of a migration of low level X509 cert and crl related classes from dogtag into JSS. This initial migration will allow users of jss to utilize these classes to create certs and crls. The initial goal is to simply provide the classes from dogtag to be used in JSS. A later goal will be to refactor dogtag to use the classes moved to JSS, but that will be for a future ticket. This migration will also address this issue: Bug 1577991 - org.mozilla.jss.netscape.security.util.ObjectIdentifier cannot parse OID arcs larger than Integer.MAX_VALUE. The file ObjectIdentifier.java has been modified to use BigInt instead of the int type, allowing for a greater range of values. Fixed minor classpath issue.

Testing: For our purposes our testing for this issue should be to execute extensive sanity, simply to make sure that we have not caused any regressions with this feature. The reason for this is that this feature consists of mostly migrated / added code taken from dogtag. The rest of the changes are minor build related changes. Nevertheless, we need to make sure we have not done anything to harm the current JSS.
