Crypto Manager Kmip Generate Self Signed Client Cert

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.
