Firstly, you only need this pk12 file for backup purposes - you don't 
need it to get FDS to talk to AD or vice versa.
Secondly, the argument to -P is the filename prefix of either your key 
or cert db file e.g. if you have
slapd-instance-cert8.db and slapd-instance-key3.db
your -P argument will be "slapd-instance-" <- note the trailing "-" 
after "slapd-instance" - this is critical - it is part of the filename 
prefix and must not be omitted.
