[kmf-discuss] proposal - new kmf_policy attribute

The SSH/X.509 project developer has asked us if we can add a new optional
parameter to the KMF Policy to indicate the keystore location of the TA 
certificate.

I think it is a reasonable request, though we will have to file an arc 
case to
modify the kmfcfg interface and kmfpolicy.dtd.

My proposal would add something like this to the .xml/.dtd files:

<ta-location keystore=[file | pkcs11 | nss] name=[filename | token_label 
| nss_db_dir]>

The kmfcfg would be modified as follows (for the 'create' and 'modify' 
options only):

[ta-location=[file|pkcs11|nss:][filename|token_name|nss_db_directory]]


If no one objects, I will file a fast-track case for this.
