Expected results:

No error.

Additional info:

This issue causes problem especially in containerized environments when we
might want that directory bind-mounted or symlinked to some volume.

Filing against ipa even if pki* might be the ultimate component, since we
likely want to keep this as dependency for future ipa-server-docker work.
