Right.  So 389-console cannot generate the keys that are required today
for non-self-signed?


It can, but you cant give the key size in console, It will stick to default 1024.
 
In researching this, I found where Rich had replied to a prior poster a
year or so ago not to use the command line (but I might have been missing
some required context.)

If the case is that 389-console cannot be used to get CSRs that are
non-self-signable, then I think that's problematic.
