[Handle-info] generating private/public keys and client certificate for the handle API via openssl

[Robert Verkerk <robert.verkerk@surfsara.nl>]

Hi,

We provide/host prefixes and handles for several customers. We have implemented handle version 8.1.0. This enables the handle API with client certificates.
We know how to generate a private/public key-pair and the client certificate for the handle API via the handle tools and a very small bit using openSSL.

If we are to allow customers to generate it they will need to download the handle tools. Or we need to do it for them. This is not something they want.

Is there a way to use only openSSL at the customer site to generate all necessary bits for the private/public key-pair and the client certificate?
This so they only have to provide us with the public key that we upload in the proper admin handle with the proper index. The rest stays private at the customer site.
