[Fedora-directory-users] Setting a self ssl certificate

Since it appears the LDAP server was stuffed, I re-installed it and
again followed the instructions, now I find that in attempting to
re-start the server it will not....so I have had to re-install again.

So this particular set of instructions,

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/ag/7.1/ssl.html#1085091

breaks the setup....

So is there a set of instructions to setup a self certified SSL server?

Subject: [Fedora-directory-users] Setting a self ssl certificate


While following the RDS manual to make a self cert, the last command is
to convert the certification database, 

8><-----

   9. Run pk12util to convert the certificate database to pkcs12 format,
so it is accessible by the Directory Server: 

/serverRoot/shared/bin/pk12util -d . -o cert.pk12 -n Server-Cert

It then asks me for,

"Enter Password or Pin for "NSS Certificate DB":"

Which I have no idea about....the password I have been using does not
work so I have no idea what this password is!

So where would I find it/set it, or am I using the wrong manual and if
so what is the correct one?
