This is correct. The private key (CSR) is generated on the requestors machine 
and submitted to the IPA CA by the user. IPA only has the public key 
(certificate).

As mentioned, there are a couple of ways to submit requests. One can do it 
using the CLI using cert-request, or the WebUI which leverages the same call or 
have certmoner do it.
