Want to add a key PEM file password option to qpidd admin tools

[Jeff Donner]

Hi,

  I want to authenticate the admin tools to qpidd with SSL + SASL EXTERNAL,

which so far looks something like this:

qpid-config --broker amqps://dev-qpidclient@localhost:5672 \
            --ssl-certificate=pki/client/certs/client-cert.pem \
            --ssl-key=pki/client/private/client-keys.pem \
            --sasl-mechanism=EXTERNAL \
            add queue examples

(Clients proper I have working.)

Are you expected to leave the client-keys.pem file unencrypted, but readable 
only by an admin account which runs the qpid-config etc commands, or is there a 
way to pass a filename that /contains the password for/ an encrypted 
client-keys.pem file?

Any tips for how to go about adding support for this if not?

Thanks,
Jeff
