The test systems are all created and torn up all the time. Also, you get
access to the systems as root so you would have access to the Red Hat
private keys. These should be temporary trusts only. Ie. you should
remove it once you've completed an exam. One way to do this is to setup
a separate user on your system that you JUST use for tests - or a
separate browser profile. That way you don't mix and match.
