I had the same issue exporting my certificate in pkcs12 format to import it to the radius part of my authentification server. Indeed, there are two certificates in the pkcs12 file for chaining with root certificat, you must specify to write options to extract only the good one (or edit the pem on you own to cut off the bad one). # certutil -d . -L # pk12util -d . -o ldap-server.pk12 -n ?certificate name ? # pk12util -d /etc/dirsrv/slapd-server/ -i ldap-server.pk12 -n ?certificat name? # openssl pcks12 -clcerts : no client certificate -cacerts : no CA certificate I think the option -cacerts will fix your issue as it fixed mine. In fact, it's a bug with poor implementations of pem file reading (like freeradius does). Hope it would help.

I am using fedora-ds 1.0.4-1 (RH4). When I try to run the certutil -d . -L command there is no output or certificate available?! Where is the mistake? /opt/fedora-ds/alias /opt/fedora-ds/shared/bin/certutil -d . -L In the directory /opt/fedora-ds/alias I have the following files: admin-serv-host-cert8.db admin-serv-host-key3.db adminserver.p12 cacert.asc cert8.db gencert.sh key3.db libnssckbi.so noise.txt password.conf pwdfile.txt secmod.db slapd-host-cert8.db slapd- host -cert8.db.bak slapd- host -key3.db slapd- host -key3.db.bak slapd- host -pin.txt The secured LDAP connection from a client to the server is working properly, therefore I think the certificates are installed right.
