eastldap1.test.com.p12 -n "Server-Cert-eastdap1" -k pwdfile.txt -w
pwdfile.txt pk12util-bin: PKCS12 EXPORT SUCCESSFUL

So at this point I had the .p12 file and the existing cacert.asc created,
 and sent them over to eastldap1.

For all of the commands listed above, you may have to specify -P
slapd-instance- if you are not using cert8.db and key3.db.

Then, copy each file $server.p12 to that $server, along with the
cacert.asc file
Then, on each server:
cd /opt/fedora-ds/alias
../shared/bin/pk12util -d . -P slapd-instance- -i $server.p12 -w
pwdfile.txt -k pwdfile.txt
# the -w argument is the file containing the password used to encrypt
the .p12 file
# the -k argument is the file containing the password for the new key
database
# you may use a different password for -k here - this is the same
password used
# in your slapd-instance-pin.txt file

../shared/bin/certutil -A -d . -P slapd-instance- -n "CA certificate" -t
"CT,," -a -i cacert.asc

# this imports your CA cert
Now the importing,

eastldap1:/opt/fedora-ds/alias# ../shared/bin/pk12util -d . -P
slapd-eastldap1- -i eastldap1.test.com.p12 -w pwdfile-0.txt -k
pwdfile.txt pk12util-bin: PKCS12 IMPORT SUCCESSFUL
ywgldap1:/opt/fedora-ds/alias# ../shared/bin/certutil -A -d . -P
slapd-eastldap1- -n "CA certificate" -t "CT,," -a -i cacert.asc


Send over enable ssl ldif

ryan@infinity:~/fds-tools$ ldapmodify -x -h eastldap1 -D "cn=directory
manager" -W -f ssl_enable.ldif Enter LDAP Password:
modifying entry "cn=encryption,cn=config"

modifying entry "cn=config"
ryan@infinity:~/fds-tools$ ldapmodify -x -h eastldap1 -D "cn=directory
manager" -W -f addrsa.ldif Enter LDAP Password:
adding new entry "cn=RSA,cn=encryption,cn=config"

But when I restart slapd on eastldap1

Enter PIN for Internal (Software) Token:
[21/Sep/2007:17:52:33 +0000] - SSL alert: Security Initialization: Can't

failure: None of the cipher are valid

Did I miss importing a private key from somewhere?  Do I need to use the
cacert.pfx I created in the basic steps?
No.  I think the problem is that the name of the server cert in the cert
db is Server-Cert-$server not Server-Cert.  I thought there was an
option to pk12util to import it and rename it, but apparently not.  To
find out what the server cert name is:
cd /opt/fedora-ds/alias
../shared/bin/certutil -L -d . -P slapd-eastldap1-
I'm assuming it will be Server-Cert-$server
Unless someone knows an easy way to rename it, you can just tell slapd
to use the new name.
stop-slapd
edit dse.ldif - look for Server-Cert and change it to whatever the
actual name of your server cert is (Server-Cert-$server)
save and start-slapd


Thanks for the help!, the modifying of dse.ldif did the trick and it all seems to be working.

Now what in the process would I have to change in order to be able to generate the certs with a Server-Cert-$server nickname and have fds recognize the proper name, without having to edit dse.ldif for each box?
I'm not sure. There's probably a way to use pk12util to export/import a cert with a different name, or use certutil to change the name, but I just don't know.
