[Fedora-directory-users] Encryption works, but odd entries in the error log on startup.

I had setup encryption on one of my test fds servers (1.1.2),  generated a 
CAcert and a Server-Cert and turned on encryption.  It all worked fine.  I 
shut down fds,  removed the Server-Cert and created a new Server-Cert with a 
few Subject Alt Name entries.  I didn't import a p12 cert,  I just used 
certutil to create a new cert in the database.

I restarted the server and tested with ldapsearch -ZZ and it all still worked.

When I had a look in the log recently,  I noticed these entries everytime i 
restart the service.

Looking back to when I first turned on encryption,  I see

So I'm wondering if I need to somehow reinit some of the encryption keys?  Or 
maybe I missed a step for replacing a Server-Cert?  But from the docs it 
looks like a straight forward turn off fds, remove old cert,  create/import 
new cert (with same name), restart fds.
