This test except that with a CRL policy set to strict, and no available CRL, the connection fails. In this case the CRL is not available. See fail-x509-11/12/13 for testcases with CRL expired, not yet valid and both valid and invalid's loaded. East does not have north's certificate cached. East will send a CR to north. East also doesn't have a specific policy for north, but rather, will accept anything that is signed by a specific CA. North will transmit its certificate to east via nic. North's certificate is issued by a CA east accepts (cacerts/ca.crt), and so should be accepted.
