I had the same issue exporting my certificate in pkcs12 format to import 
it to the radius part of my authentification server.

Indeed, there are two certificates in the pkcs12 file for chaining with 
root certificat, you must specify to write options to extract only the 
good one (or edit the pem on you own to cut off the bad one).

# certutil --d . -L

# pk12util --d . --o ldap-server.pk12 --n «certificate name »

# pk12util --d /etc/dirsrv/slapd-server/ -i ldap-server.pk12 --n 
«certificat name»

# openssl pcks12
 -clcerts : no client certificate
 -cacerts : no CA certificate

I think the option -cacerts will fix your issue as it fixed mine.

In fact, it's a bug with poor implementations of pem file reading (like 
freeradius does).

Hope it would help.

Regards.
