Solaris should already have certutil. You need to run something like:

# certutil -N -d /home/dings/fds/alias -P slapd-lsctsol06-

Note that there is a trailing dash. This is important.

You'll be prompted to set a security password. Enter one or just press 
ENTER twice to not set one.

That should do the trick.
