Research direction

Start by locating twisted.internet.ssl.PrivateCertificate.options and compare its accepted arguments with CertificateOptions. Review the context from issue #6286, then update the options interface so it can accept the same arguments and verify that existing certificate-option behavior remains supported.

Type enhancement

Work on #6286 unveiled that PrivateCertificate.options is (unnecessarily) greatly hampered by only allowing a list of certificate authorities.

If we allowed passing in the same arguments as into CertificateOptions, lots of code would be simpler and also more idiomatic.
