Step #8
Copy the key3.db and cert8.db you created to the default databases
created at Directory Server installation:

where is this 'default databases'?

/opt/fedora-ds/slapd-srv1/ ? # srv1 is name of my server


/opt/fedora-ds/alias/slapd-srv1-key3.db
/opt/fedora-ds/alias/slapd-srv1-cert8.db

OK - well that was where I created them...

# ls -l /opt/fedora-ds/alias/
total 520

I didn't see them listed anywhere in the console.


Didn't see what listed anywhere in the console?
----
the certificates that I generated using certutil. I never could find
evidence of them in any console.

They have to be in the file called slapd-name-cert8.db - it won't find them if they are in cert8.db.

The files listed above I am certain
were generated by openssl creation of the CA certificate and using that
to sign the requests from the Server Certs portions of the
Administration and Directory Consoles - and 'installing' them in the
console...because of the time signatures.
----

I think the directions mean "copy your new key3.db over slapd-srv1-key3.db and copy your new cert8.db over slapd-srv1-cert8.db". When you do this, make sure slapd isn't running, and make sure you retain the old ownership and permissions of those files (e.g. nobody:nobody and 0600). Slapd (uid nobody) has to open those files in read-write mode.

----
it would appear that having the above contents of /opt/fedora-ds/alias
and the db files chmod 600 nobody:nobody as per above - that even though
I generated them ultimately with openssl and not certutil and they are
listed in both Administration and Directory consoles in both CA Certs
and Server Certs that I am good to go to next step.
Ok.

Thanks

Craig
