Actually, this is the error log for the admin server.  The error log for 
the directory server is in /var/log/dirsrv/slapd-INSTANCE where instance 
is your instance name.

The console might be failing to connect to AD because the console has a 
separate key/cert db under ~/.fedora-idm-console (in 1.1).  You may need 
to add the CA cert in this directory too:

certutil -A -d ~/.fedora-idm-console -n "CA certificate" -t "CT,," -a -i /path/to/cacert.asc
