Does DB Connect support key-pair authentication mode?

Rather than having the Splunk DBX user authenticate with userid/password, I'd like to use RSA key-pair authentication. The database I'm using supports that auth model, and I have the user account configured to use it. I can connect from our commandline that way, but I'm wondering how this might implemented within DBX?
