All of it.  I'm thinking three patches, stacked:

1) Fix the main rest.rb so that it changes the names as necessary
2) Fix #1507 so that it allows specification of a CA name
3) Apply a form of the fix from yesterday to use that CA name in the  
CA CSR

Working on it now, since it's all in my brain and pretty easy.
