When selftests are executed, if the nssdb doesn't have certs with correct flags, the debug logs will be misleading.
Solution: Verify flags of the certs in the beginning of the SelfTest process before verifying the certificate validity.
To reproduce: 1. Install CA 2. Stop server
systemctl stop pki-tomcatd@pki-tomcat
certutil -M -t "u,u,u" -n ca_audit_signing -d /var/lib/pki/pki-tomcat/alias/`
systemctl start pki-tomcatd@pki-tomcat
