Dave, Keys generated/signed by CA plus we need 100% automated solution. We don't just have 1 CAS server, we have 1,000 or so, and they each need unique keys. Our CAS use case is unique, in that we essentially run CAS w/applications at the edge of the network, with extremely poor communications back up to an centralized enterprise; so we have to automate as much as possible.
Ideally, I'd just submit a couple PRs to make the PrivateKeyFactoryBean handle multiple outputs from the PEMParser, but i'm working against a tight schedule, and can't wait for a CAS release at the moment.
