Reopen Issue

Orphan key is getting generated in the nss db but no certificate exist for that
key.

[root@pki1 ~]# certutil -K -d /var/lib/pki/<testCA>/alias
certutil: Checking token "NSS Certificate DB" in slot "NSS User Private
Key and Certificate Services"
Enter Password or Pin for "NSS Certificate DB":
< 0> rsa      81fa4cfdfea5b78b0368d567ae82ac6b41de84f7   caSigningCert
cert-externalCA CA
< 1> rsa      82a8e63a4464df85c6bf95ec614135393169cd43   (orphan)

Steps to Reproduce:

1. check certutil -K -d /var/lib/pki/<testCA>/alias

Actual results:

Orphan keys exist in nssdb

Expected results:

orphan keys should not exist.

Per PKI Bug Council of 06/23/2016: 10.4

workaround is to remove orphaned key
