The Configuration DS is o=Netscaperoot and User DS is the dn of your DIT, eg. dc=example,dc=com. Since you can setup a dedicated DS just for your Configuration, it makes sense to have seperated SSL-Configuration settings for accessing the Configuration and User DS. When you have a setup where several LDAP instances sharing the same Configuration Directory, then you have to point the User DS to the local running instances and for the Configuration Directory you point to the server which holds a copy of o=NetscapeRoot.
