What is happening is that the console invokes a CGI via the admin server 
to create and/or manage those files.  The following permissions are 
required:  The admin server user id (default: nobody - grep User 
/etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/console.conf to see what the userid is) must have 
permission to create new files in /etc/dirsrv/slapd-instancename and 
/etc/dirsrv/admin-serv, and read and write cert8.db, key3.db, and 
secmod.db in those directories.  If you need/want to run the directory 
server and the admin server as different users, then you should create a 
group to which both of those users belong (and no other users) - you 
will need to make sure those files and directories have the appropriate 
group permissions, since the directory server needs to read/write files 
in /etc/dirsrv/slapd-instancename as well as the admin server.
