I had setup encryption on one of my test fds servers (1.1.2), generated a CAcert and a Server-Cert and turned on encryption. It all worked fine. I shut down fds, removed the Server-Cert and created a new Server-Cert with a few Subject Alt Name entries. I didn't import a p12 cert, I just used certutil to create a new cert in the database.

I restarted the server and tested with ldapsearch -ZZ and it all still worked.

When I had a look in the log recently, I noticed these entries everytime i restart the service.

Looking back to when I first turned on encryption,  I see

So I'm wondering if I need to somehow reinit some of the encryption keys? Or maybe I missed a step for replacing a Server-Cert? But from the docs it looks like a straight forward turn off fds, remove old cert, create/import new cert (with same name), restart fds.
Unfortunately, those keys were encrypted with the old key/cert. But as long as you don't want to use reversible attribute encryption, you can ignore those messages.
