The "keypair option" is only available, if the key is generated on the
openca  server. Normally, a browser key is generated in the browsers
crypto store, eg. Mozillas "software security device", or IE's "private
certificate store". That's where the key should reside.

When you plan to export it as pkcs12, you should mark the key as
extractable while generating. This option is available to all browser
crypto stores.

However, when you created it on a smartcard, there could be no way to
extract it (and this is the sense of a private key stored on smartcards)

Generally, the private key should ALWAYS kept private. That means,
generation and storage on clients side is mandatory for high security.
