Description

For simplicity of setup, please consider generating the end-entity certificate and private key for the challenge server itself. That would allow running pebble without having to check those files into the repository that's trying to run pebble in CI. The management interface could serve the appropriate CA public key (also generated).

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating Pebble's certificate-authority setup and management interface, then determine how the challenge server's end-entity certificate, private key, and CA public key should be generated and exposed. Done means CI can run Pebble without checked-in certificate files.
