In the certtool man page, there is the option to specify a password on the command line w/ `--password`. In the online manual:
http://www.gnutls.org/manual/html_node/certtool-Invocation.html This option is described as useful "to specify the password in the command line instead of reading it from the tty". This implies that without this option, a password can be read from stdin. However, there doesn't seem to be any way to invoke such behavior. The example in the man page of how to generate a private key is: certtool --generate-privkey --outfile key.pem --rsa But this never asks for a password. How can I generate a password protected private key without specifying the password on the command line? The only option I can find to specify an encryption algorithm is `--pkcs-cipher`, but that seems inappropriate and doesn't do anything in this case. The certtool version is 3.2.11 compiled for Fedora 20.
