[Fedora-directory-users] SSH help

I am really struggling to get Fedora Directory Server working using 
ADSync. I am confused on a lot of fronts, it would be fair to say I am a 
newbie when it comes to SSH, CAs, and synchronizing anything against 
Active Directory. So I am at a disadvantage to start with.

I have been using 
http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Howto:WindowsSync for my 
instruction base as well as 
http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Howto:SSL for setting up FDS to 
use SSL.

Here are my steps so far:
 1) Install and setup FDS and create my directory server. So far so good.
 2) Execute setupssl.sh from the Howto:SSL link above.
     * As far as I can tell this script automates everything in "Basic 
Steps", so correct me if I am wrong, but I shouldn't have to actually do 
any of them after running the script?
 3) Restart both my admin and directory servers.

After I have restarted my servers, it would seem to me that FDS would be 
exclusively accessible over port 636. So I use an LDAP Browser to 
verify, and it turns out that 389 is still available and the other 
isn't. Why is this?

At this point I decide to move onto another step 
(http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Howto:WindowsSync#Enabling_SSL_for_PassSync) 
in the instructions and setup ADSync on the Active Directory box. 
Install goes fine, though I am obviously unable to get it to connect to 
the FDS yet.

I am able to create the cert8.db, but then hit a road block again when I 
try to execute "pk12util -d . -P slapd-<instance> -o servercert.p12 -n 
Server-Cert", and yes I swap <instance> for my host name. I get this 
exception: "pk12util: find user certs from nickname failed: security 
library: bad database.". Any idea?

I know this is a lot, but I would appreciate any help I can get.

Thank you,
Dennis
