GenerateSelfSignedClientCert(generateSelfSignedClientCert)

Generate a self-signed client certificate with its private key. This generates a self signed certificate as well as its private key. The private key will not be returned to caller for security protection. If this method is called again, the certificate and private key generated in the new invocation will overwrite the old ones. The generated certificate will not replace current working certificate until UpdateSelfSignedClientCert is called. The generated self signed certificate can be later retrieved by calling RetrieveSelfSignedClientCert.

UpdateKmsSignedCsrClientCert(updateKmsSignedCsrClientCert)

Set KMS server signed certificate as KMIP client certificate for the KMS cluster. This method should be called to update the certificate signed by KMS server from a CSR that is generated by calling GenerateClientCsr. If GenerateClientCsr is called more than once, the CSR that is generated last time should be used; otherwise the certificate will be rejected because the private key from last time won't match the public key in the certificate.
