Create a CA Cerfificate # certutil -S -n "CA certificate" -s "cn=CA cert,dc=directory,dc=example,dc=com" -2 -x -t "CT,," -m 1000 -v 720 -d . -k rsa Make sure you say yes to "Is this a CA certificate [y/N]?" and everything else will be default. Next we create your Server Cert. Important - Make sure your cn is your FQDN of this server. Create cert for ldap1.example.com on ldap1.example.com # certutil -S -n "directory-Server-Cert-1" -s "cn=ldap1.example.com" -c "CA certificate" -t "u,u,u" -m 1001 -v 720 -d . -k rsa Create cert for ldap2.example.com on ldap1.example.com # certutil -S -n "directory-Server-Cert-2" -s "cn=ldap2.example.com" -c "CA certificate" -t "u,u,u" -m 1002 -v 120 -d . -k rsa Then check to make sure it looks ok # certutil -L -n "directory-Server-Cert-2" -d . Export keys & certs for ldap2.example.com # pk12util -d . -o server2.p12 -n directory-Server-Cert-2 # certutil -L -d . -n "CA certificate" -a > cacert.asc Copy the 'server2.p12' and 'cacert.asc' created above to the 2nd Red Hat Directory Server. Create your public ca for your clients. # certutil -d . -L -n "CA certificate" -a > my-public-ca.asc While logged in to the 2nd RHDS i.e. ldap2.example.com, run the following: # service dirsrv stop # cd /etc/disrv/slapd-INSTANCE2/ # mv /path/to/server2.p12 /etc/dirsrv/slapd-INSTANCE2/ # mv /path/to/cacert.asc /etc/dirsrv/slapd-INSTANCE2/ # pk12util -d . -i server2.p12 # certutil -A -d . -n "CA certificate" -t "CT,," -a -i cacert.asc # service dirsrv start Hope that helps.
