411795 - Need tests for libPKIX policy control flags

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(NSS :: Test, enhancement, P5)

Description

[Nelson Bolyard (seldom reads bugmail)]

RFC 3280 defines, and libPKIX implements, a set of boolean flags that
control the behavior of libPKIX with respect to policy processing. 
Those flags include:

    PKIX_Boolean policyQualifiersRejected,   (Maybe not in RFC 3280)
    PKIX_Boolean initialPolicyMappingInhibit,
    PKIX_Boolean initialExplicitPolicy,
    PKIX_Boolean initialAnyPolicyInhibit,

Recently, we discovered a bug (bug 411614) that was causing the values 
of two of those flags to be set incorrectly, and this was completely 
undetected by our testing.  The conclusion is that our tests do not 
exercise these boolean controls to ensure that they work properly.

The libPKIX tests must be augmented to test those 4 flags, and 
combinations thereof.
