Hi Jim,
I can't think of a reason not to keep them around... I'll add a note in
the tracker.
Bugger! I suspected as much.
Is there a particular reason why the private keys for root + intermediate
certs are discarded? Keeping them in config.xml would allow, for example,
creating additional leaf certs from the same root. Probably of limited use,
but who knows...

Hi Jim,
I'm afraid the keys for the root and intermediate certificates are
discarded shortly after they are created.
So I really can't think of a way round this other than getting a new KDM.
Sometimes it's best to just send the leaf certificate to avoid these
problems.
Sorry about that,
Carl
