No keys generated when installing SP 3.0.2

Note that if you upgrade from an existing v2 SP install to v3 SP the existing key file pair /etc/shibboleth/sp-cert.pem and /etc/shibboleth/sp- key.pem do not change, and the new key pairs for signing and encryption are not created.

We run Shibboleth on a lot of servers, and have been installing it on many more servers over the last year. All of the have basically the same /etc/shibboleth/shibboleth2.xml file with our customizations. The only difference is the url for the local system. So have some scripts that runs during the installation that copies our customized shibboleth2.xml file and changes a fixed string for the url to the url for  for that particular system. I just needed to update the template file we use in that process changing the <CredentialResolver> statements to point to the new key files. Along with a few other minor modifications for other parameter changes between V2 and V3.

The files created from a clean install of shibboleth-sp v3 on RHEL 7 are a signing and an encryption key pair

-rw-r--r-- 1 shibd shibd 1484 Sep 26 14:35 sp-encrypt-cert.pem
-rw------- 1 shibd shibd 2484 Sep 26 14:35 sp-encrypt-key.pem
-rw-r--r-- 1 shibd shibd 1484 Sep 26 14:35 sp-signing-cert.pem
-rw------- 1 shibd shibd 2484 Sep 26 14:35 sp-signing-key.pem

Those aren't the filenames used in a "from scratch" V3 install, the names are different and they match what the configuration would expect. And I can't imagine that it didn't generate them, but they won't be those two.
