sure, still to use stuff all the apps need to have the right CA cert info.

thanks, I think I did not express myself well enough.
We already have a ipa realm for our centos hosts and it indeed has a
built-in CA (dogtag).
The problem is we have other hosts *not* in the realm and they need to
use services with this internal CA. And they need to use them without
warnings about how unsafe this unknown CA is.
So for ldap clients, you drop the ca-cert in a directory and the ldap
tools do not complain. The same goes for java tools,
mozilla/thunderbird, chrome, ...
So the question is: where do you add the CA information in
centos/redhat servers for those kinds of applications?
