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.

I ended up doing this with openssl...
# first using console, I created a server csr (fedora-ds.csr)

then...
openssl req -config /usr/share/ssl/openssl.cnf -new -x509 \
-days 3650 -key ca.key -out ca.cert
openssl genrsa -out ldap.key 1024
openssl req -config /usr/share/ssl/openssl.cnf -new -key ldap.key \
-out ldap.csr
openssl x509 -req -in ldap.csr -out ldap.cert -CA ca.cert \
-CAkey ca.key -CAcreateserial -days 3650
openssl x509 -req -in fedora-ds.csr -out fedora-ds.cert -CA ca.cert \
-CAkey ca.key -CAcreateserial -days 3650cp ca.cert /etc/ssl

Then using the console - in Administration console, Manage Certificates,
CA Certs, I 'installed' the file ca.cert (it seemed happy)

Then in Server Certs, I installed fedora-ds.cert (it seemed happy)

I pretty much repeated the process of creating the signing request and
signing it and generating another server cert and it seems to be happy
too as now, it too lists the certificates both in the server certs and
the CA certs.

So I am pretty good to go right?

Thanks
