To check if the SUBCA gets installed without the master instance, we tried using garbage values in the pki_issuing_ca parameter and a CA instance was created as a ROOTCA and not a SUBCA. No error was thrown. Also, when the SUBCA tries to join the security domain of the master (although a SUBCA need not join the security domain of the master) it fails to join.
I am attaching the subca config file for reference
SUBCA config file subca_instance.inf
Per CS/DS meeting of 08/04/2014: moving to Milestone 10.2.2
Similar problem as ticket #1080. The parameter pki_subordinate was set in the wrong section due to which it was taken as false and the CA was considered as a Root level CA. Also, the pki_issuing_ca parameter should be set in the CA section to be considered for the configuration of subca.
