Re: signature verification failures using NSS with FIPS

This particular error means that the certificate verification failed

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/NSS/SSL_functions/sslerr.html

SEC_ERROR_BAD_SIGNATURE 	-8182 	Peer's certificate has an invalid signature.

I didn't test in FIPS mode recently, but as far as I know it should
work fine for a subset of XMLDsig spec (e.g. you can't put keys into
signature for obvious reasons).
