 My guess is that you just need to create the cert files. Look for the
certutil-bin binary in /opt/fedora-ds/shared/bin (no clue where on
Solaris). Do certutil-bin -h . The cert db files will need to be named
appropriately and located in alias. Something like:
slapd-lsctsol06-key3.db
slapd-lsctsol06-cert8.db
Also, I think that secmod.db is needed but I don't know what it
contains.
