By default when certstrap initializes a CA certificate it sets the
pathlen
X509v3 basic constraint to zero (0). This is correct if the CAwill not be used in a certificate chain which includes intermediate
certificates.
Add a parameter to
certstrap init
to allow a user to override thepathlen
constraint if they know that their CA will be used withintermediate certificates. By default the value is set to zero, leaving
the behaviour the same as before this change if the parameter isn't
overridden.
