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.
