Subject: [PATCH] Fix CA/server cert validation in FIPS

In FIPS, the NSS library needs to be passed passwords to perform
certificate validation. Should we not have passed it and the NSS
guys have not fixed this yet, we would get SEC_ERROR_BAD_SIGNATURE
which is completely different error than one would expect but
that's just how things are with NSS right now.
