Guacamole kind of already supports this - by default, the FreeRDP library
tries to create a directory within the current user's home directory, and
when Mike was implementing FreeRDP 2 support we ran into the fact that
FreeRDP doesn't really take no for an answer, anymore.  So, you should be
able to add certificates to this store that FreeRDP auto-creates and
un-tick that Ignore Certificates box.
